The Arrogance of the Ignorant.

Why is it that the biggest idiots think they know everything? Usually I try to avoid dealing with people like that as much as possible, either that or piss them off enough that they stay away from me. Usually pissing them off does not take much effort. A lot of times just questioning ideas that they hold dear is enough to make them keep their distance. Such is the arrogance of the ignorant. The most intelligent people never stop learning, and I have not yet met a truly intelligent person who was arrogant. There are different kinds of intelligence. I am not putting down people who are not seen as intelligent according to society's norms. The people for whom I do not have tolerance are those who act smug and look down on others. To be honest though I have sometimes wanted to slap their smug looks off of their faces, but I realize that it would only make me look bad. I have to remember not to let them make me as miserable as they are.
