Judgments
You know, there's some really judgement terms that bug me. A lot. Such as labeling another person pretentious.
To call someone pretentious you have to judge their suitability (or lack there of) of a position they are unworthy of; which means that you must think yourself to be in a judgement position in the first place, for some reason.
Doesn't that make you pretentious?
I've always felt that, which is why when people call me 'pretentious,' I just tend to smirk and take satisfaction in the knowledge that said person is a self-important asshat. Or not. But usually.
Also: rights.
People ask, "Where do you get the right to do X or Y?"
Well, where do you get the right to ask someone where they get the right to do anything? To try to police someone who is policing someone else is only doing the exact same thing, but according to YOUR standards, rather than theirs. And as long as you are following YOUR standards, you're being just fine and dandy, right?
Such labels are incredibly paradoxical. That's why I live my life not giving a damn about what others think about me, for the most part. It's much easier, and much less.. Well, paradoxical. I admit that I am a pretentious, elitist asshat, and be done with it. Everyone else is, too. I just quit worrying about it.
