Being underneath

went out last night with some people from work and one of them tried to fix me up with his sister which was very kind of him, but i felt a little awkward. we got chatting (if it is possible to chat in Yates on a saturday night) - i wont mention her name - and brought her a drink, when she found out that i was only working in a low paid job she treated me very differently and said the words 'my friends would disown me if they found out i was talking to someone beneath me', and left.

is this my fault for not being good enough? is it her fault for being worried about her friends? is it her friends fault for being too judgemental? it got me thinking about how good a person is depending on how much they earn. is someone who earns millions better that someone who is on a normal wage? i dont know. put a bit of a dampner on the evening really and alcohol acts as a mood enhancer, not changer - so i ended up very glum by the erection section and didnt feel like asking anyone to dance.

maybe the way to be successful with the opposite sex is to be snobby and put down people in public? is that the secret to a 'bad boy's suceess as they always get the nice girls and treat them badly? i didnt think that it had got to me but he comment has been going through my head all day. why would someone say that?

Why would someone say that? Because they're ignorant and shallow, and you're better off shut of them as soon as possible.

Don't let it rent space in your head, Roger. Just keep being a good person, and putting yourself out there. It's worth it.

People with alot of money tend to be the most vile, rude, vulgar people on the planet, so you;re better off with nothing - that way your kindness and character shine through
