Q: i feel like i look down upon people for saying really stupidly egotistical/self-indulgent things. and i know everyone to some extent harbors their own egotistical thoughts, but obviously not everyone comes out and says them, because they're aware that they may be wrong. but when people are unaware of this i look down upon them, and i feel like there should be a less negative way to feel about this, cause it's not good to look down on people. i know you kind of have this thing about not disliking anything and not indulging in these kinds of thoughts; how do you get yourself to be like that?
A: it's sort of a fun and never ending game. a neat exercise would be to write a play where each person thinks they're better than someone else by catching the other person thinking they're better than a 3rd person. then the realizations start hitting everyone, and their self images all begin to oscillate rapidly between good and bad. put the characters in a variety of everyday situations while this is happening. endless fun
