Came across a post made by Jared Feather that I agree with and thought I'd share. It's one thing to be proud of your accomplishments but it's another to look down at others. We all have our strengths and weaknesses:
"I don't care if you can deadlift 800lbs, SNATCH 400lbs, never miss a shot in a basketball game, run a 3.9 40 yard dash, gold medal in 4 different events at the Olympics, etc.
None of that shit gives you the right to look at another human being and think you're any better than they are because you pursued an endeavour that you luckily had a genetically sound predisposition for. Even if it wasnt "all" genetics...I don't care if you worked for years and years to develop a trait in which you are now elite at..... once you make it to the top of what you do you can all of the sudden walk around thinking you're more of a person than someone else? I don't quite understand it. Last time I checked we all breathe air, make our own choices, and have 1 heart that beats until we're not doing the other two things.
I see this shit more in gym culture than anywhere (especially out here).
Do you realize that you LIFT WEIGHTS???? How in the hell do people get so egotistical about this shit?..... You're good at picking up objects in weird bodily motions and you're now at a point in your life that when others are trying to do the same weird shit you're doing with metal bars and plates you look at them weird, stick your chest out, and are rude. What the fuck is wrong with people? Lol
I don't know shit about cars....so I ask people for advice...I don't know shit about woodwork, so I would ask people for advice... People don't know shit about training or diet so they ask me for advice...
See how that works? We help each other. It's really cool when you engage in that system of thought. Seems to have worked for quite some time for the human race."
