Pomposity and arrogance aren’t cultural traits to celebrate

So, yesterday at this picnic there was a long line of cars trying to leave all at once. As we looked forward, fifteen minutes into trying to leave, we noticed a giant limousine driving particularly slow in front of everyone with no one in front of it. It was truly amazing. Someone had a limo take them and pick them up from the picnic. How arrogant can these people get? I just don’t understand. Then they wonder why it is that so many people believe that their actions are terrible and act inappropriately. It’s true. They are those things, and then some.

You think that’s bad? No. Note: this picnic was at a huge park with a lake. HUGE PARK! Branches, wild-life. This woman was walking around in dress shoes. Pumps, even. And I heard her complaining about how annoyingly uneven the ground was. Really? Fancy that. It’s not like you’re walking on grass in heals with a circumference less than a dime. It’s completely insane.

Quite honestly, the worst part was hearing this one kid who just got his license a week before. He talked about how he got a car for his birthday. We asked what kind. He pointed out a brand new Mercedes something-or-rather. He boasted that he was pissed that they only had black, but was happy that he could get heated seats and a navigation system. I mean seriously. What ever happened to modesty? What happened to earning your way in life? That’s not how us Persians operate. No. “We” like to walk around like we’re better than everyone else, and wonder why it is that so many people dislike us. I’m wondering why…its not taking to long to do so.

Then realize that the last two manifestations came to the Middle East for a reason. There wasn’t a worse place on earth then there. At least the people have grown up, or something.
