so I have this friend with quite the ego. he complains/comments regularly on the moronity of people. someone asked him, "if your friends are such morons why do you hang out with them?" He didn't reply and I didn't say anything at the time. I thought about the question afterwards and I figured out the answer; it's easier to be condescending to people you've already deemed below you. if he were to surround himself with people he considered equals he would be challenged and potentially looked down on by others.
I simply find this amusing. probably doesn't read as well as it sounds in my head.
