why are you so sad?
did the world let you down? did the adults stop caring for the little kid that is inside of you? when they abandoned you, did you think that you were the only person in the world that cared? and as a result of that belief, did you create a sense of arrogance around the fact, which led you to believe that you are better than everyone else older and younger than you?
i see a scared and scarred little boy in you. someone in your life let you down a lot, and you have promised yourself that you will never let yourself or others down again. in doing so, you isolated yourself from everyone as you hid on this moral mountaintop that you created to defend against the pain of dissapointment . i am sorry that you are there. it is not a fun place to be.
however, as sorry as i am, i must remind you that you dont have the world figured. your behavior evidences that. someone who had the world figured out would not act out in the ways that you do. do you think an actualized human being, something as which you regard yourself, would insult people like me for falling short in life? do you think that someone who was so markedly better than all adults would have to resort to name calling to get across the point that they are in fact better than adults? or would such a better human being find a compassionate way to deal with us? im going with the latter.
when someone so adamantly defends themself as better than others, its most definitely the mark of a man that feels smaller than the smallest speck on the earth.
the dalai lama does not go around putting his enlightenment in others faces.
