On one blog that I frequented quite a bit, one such individual existed where everyone else (98% of the bloggers) were wrong and only she was right no matter the topic or how distorted she twisted it. Normally, you would dismiss such actions as another Internet troll but when they couple it with indignation and proclamations of being the truly civilized person, yah just want to pop that oversized ego.
So to all of my readers who are like that and that poster if she/ he frequents my site, I wish to inform you of a simple word called humility.
To put it in perspective a person needs to sit back and ponder the following:
According to the US Census Bureau, the world’s population is 6,622,121,434 or 6.6 billion people.
Of this, you might be known to exist by 25,000 people being very generous.
Of those 25,000, you may be graced with 150 people that know you well and care about your opinion.
Most of my numbers are likely on the high side. But even so, let us see how it breaks down.
It would mean 6,622,096,434 people on this planet do not know you exist. Percentage wise, 99.9996% have no idea you live. But a whopping 0.0004% does!!
It also means 6,622,121,284 do not give a rats butt what you say. Percentage wise, to 99.999998% only know you as some schmuck on the planet adding to the CO2 count in the air. That makes a tremendous 0.000002% that actually desire to hear your opinion.
But that isn’t the best news of all to one with such a big ego, more people who will never know you are being born every minute of every day and your percentages are shrinking!!!
So I would suggest a good serving of humble pie and please stick to the observable facts.
Now to those who are my readers and acknowledge this in their lives, just keep this entry handy to give to that ultra stuck up person in your life when you feel their ego needs to be popped. :D
