Being a snob.
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
The senior girl walks down the hall. It appears that she now has a stalker. Jonathon Hunt, who was the biggest dork in the entire school, seems to have a fascination with her. Then he says something, stupid of course. "Look," the girl says, "I am a senior, get back to where you came from, you have no right to even come near me."
Of course, this doesn't happen like this at ICA, it is usually just a look, that says those exact words. Leave me alone you little junior higher, is what that look says. Yeah, it probably happens when the particular junior higher thinks he is right, and you are wrong. "Of course, I'm right I know what I am talking about, I have been around longer," you think. 99.9 percent of the time, the older person is right, right?
Now, let me propose a new way of thinking. I propose that we look to heaven. Does God, who is the creator of everything, and is all knowing, act snobbish to us? Yah, that seventh grader is wrong. But, does that make being a jerk and putting them in their place right? If anyone has the right to be a snob, God does. "Who are these people to think that they know more than me, I created them!" God might say. We are stupid to be stuck up, when in reality we have nothing to be stuck up about. Were it not for the grace of God we wouldn't know half the things we know. Were it not for the grace of God we wouldn't have clothes at all, let alone clothes that ride high on the leg area.
Please note that this applies to me. I have trouble with thinking that I am better than someone.
Finally, I propose that we lose are egos. We are nothing, but through the grace of God. I am only here and what I am, but for the grace of God.
