Im certainly guilty. Often, im sure some jaggof is tailgaiting me because of my darwin fish.

Usually, i think its just that theyre in a hurry. I am just an inconvenient extra in this guy's street racing flick.

So many people feel they! Are! The! Star! Of! The! Movie! And everyone else "doesnt get it", of course... because its ALL 'BOUT THEM and their issues and whatever particular axe they happen to need ground this week.

Everyone loves MEEE, everyone wants MEEEEE, everyone hates MEEEE, and everyone is out to get MEEEEEEE!!!!

ME!!!!

Take a step outside on a clear night. Look at the milky way. Then realize that the milky way, itself, isnt all that significant.

So, hate to break it to folks, but NEITHER ARE YOU. What is truly breathtaking is the pompous self importance some people adopt.

The idea that we are the center of the universe, is an illusion.
