Everyone is an Asshole.
No exceptions. Nope not even Jesus. Hell, Jesus trashed a harmless currency exchange , which merely let foreigners give sacrifice to God in legal tender. He then only picked a round dozen people for the most important words ever spoken. Every man in the group being both illiterate AND too stupid to find a ghostwriter. What an Asshole.
Einstein? Instigates the Manhattan Project; says Oops. Major Asshole.
The Pope? Don't even get me started on THAT guy.
As a matter of fact, given enough thought, you will see that not one person is Not an Asshole.
Of course that really isn't the mind blowing bit of all this. The real clincher is that the mark of a truely hopeless and irredeemable capital A, Asshole is the fixed belief that there exist people who are "Not Assholes." This immediately gives rise to the passionate desire to be mistaken for one of them.
People waste enoumous amounts of energy, time and free will on trying to keep anyone from suspecting that they are not one of the Assholes. A foolhardy venture in which I have decided not to participate.
Knowing this I have refocused my offorts to be perceived (by anyone whose opinion mattered to me) as a competent and pleasant and capable Asshole. An Asshole with class.
