Snobism Revised

I state that one of the most despicable traits is a person is snobbism. I am vexed at the sight of someone disgracing their potential. They believe they can order others around to do their tasks. I feel sorry for such people: Not only are they becoming a pain, but they are surrendering their life’s potential by capitulating to their own laziness.

When someone (commonly a teenager) commands a maid to carry out an obviously simple task they themselves could do, what is that person thinking? For instance, when someone asks their maid to prepare another dish because the one available is either “unacceptable” or “disgustful”, he isn’t considering the amount of energy that required to make it. That person is being supremely ungrateful, which fills me with disgust. It spites me so, that upon experiencing such act being carried out, my image of that person immediately changes. I believe that a person who is tortured by lethargy and doesn’t attempt to be rid of it is condemned to a life of inutility.

Defeated by his/her laziness, and relying on “superiority” to command others to carry out their tasks, snobs make me sick at the stomach. What vexes me even more is the fact that they believe that they have the right to act the way they do. In my opinion, the idiosyncrasy of thinking that others can and should do one’s tasks is taught by the parents, who often participate and even promote it. As the ultimate role models of every person, parents have the dire responsibility to act respectfully towards others. When a child is seen showing signs of contempt, everyone around him/her should reprimand the act, explaining how such behavior is the pitfall of human behavior in society. Instead, most parents are afraid of scolding their children in fear of being marked as extremists or controllers. As long as people act haughtily towards others, it shall be difficult to them to summon the energy required for the most simple of tasks. They will alienate others and will become lazy, wasting their lives in hoping that others will work for them.
