If “lower levels” provoke disgust in you, provoke bitter mockery or criticism — you are likely not much “higher”, and bearing elements of those yourself
Your disdain for failure betrays your own insecurity
Your derision of the system betrays your own fecklessness in life
Your cynicism betrays your inertia
Your arrogance betrays doubts about your own ability
What is your reaction to the awkwardness of toddlers making their first steps?
To the silly sounds they make and crude words beginning to shape in their kid-mouths?
What is your reaction to the childishness of children?
To the difficulty with which they learn to read and count?
To the innate egoism, before they become conditioned with societal “morality”?
To their cluelessness about politics and news and science?
Do you virulently lambaste them for their childish ignorance, stupidity and unwillingness?
Do you mock them and and mock their obvious inferiority in every aspect of human existence?
There is nothing to disdain but oneself
All disdain is non-acceptance.
There is time and place to acknowledge the stupidity of the place you’re in
Muster energy to transcend one’s condition
Use whatever emotion arises to propel you
Then let go of it
Never harbour disdain for too long
If you are disdainful
Celebrate your disdain in what it reveals about yourself
What you disdain is what you actually hate about yourself still
Get it the fuck out of your life, leave it way behind — then forgive yourself
Never deny what you are
Never deny what you feel — which is what you are
If you deny it you never transcend it
If you accept it you can leave it behind
…
Your disdain is not cool but it reveals what you hate about yourself
Accept that rather then projecting it onto others
Accept that rather then pretend you’re so positive and flowery
Learn from your disdain — then move on, my friend
