Humour

Look closely at the words on your monitor.

Read very carefully.

With every word, every line, your image of yourself grows bloated with stupidity,
and self-assurance.

When you start this line, you will feel full, haughty, and indignant.
You are SOMEONE, and not something to be trifled with.

YOU have money, and you are important.

Sit straight in your chair, look around you. Look down at the insects that scuttle in your mighty prescence.

This is the pin to burst your bubble.

You deflate, all at once. Slump suddenly in your chair, sit forward, head downed in shame.
Your thoughts go to yourself. How could you act so pompous, so arrogant?

Simple.

It's all in the frame of mind.

Now that you've experience both arrogance and humility, go around today and watch how other people walk around, how they treat each other. Hell, when that hag in the green sweater comes by to give you trouble at work, you can know, she's riding around on a balloon filled with her own pride and arrogance. And when something happens to burst the bubble, she's going to be one with the shit that hit the fan.

Just think about it. There's humour to be had by watching people who think they're somebody.

Signing off.
