Overwhelming Desire to Belittle

Night is always profound. Just as the inner workings of human mind. Or so one might hope. But unfortunately it is not always the truth.

Over the years I have constantly found myself in quiet (or sometimes not so quiet) contemplation over an issue that strikes as peculiarly odd. I have yet to grasp the inner workings of the mind of those members of society, who find profound joy and inexplicable pleasure in belittling others based on their chosen profession.

As a bouncer I have no problem with understanding the ups and downs of my chosen vocation. To be blunt it is rather hard to find any “bright sides” in the profession that has grown out of need to establish physical barriers between those who are in danger of falling prey to violent moods of their surroundings and those eager to express themselves by unleashing their inner demons upon the world and those around them. But every now and then there are some dim rays of bright moonlight shining through the dark clouds.

I personally have found a mere “thank you!” from someone whose peace and well-being you have guarded over the course of their stay in the establishment under your purview the highest praise you can get. I can’t really explain it, but every time somebody thanks me for a job well done I feel like my mind has turned a clean slate and all the ugliness that preceded that moment has vanished from my thoughts. “But dread not!” I say to myself – it will return most ricky-tick! Just wait until the next shift and hope that someone is there to turn the page of that “dark notebook” you call your “mind”.

And as surely as sun sets to make room for the moon, every night there are those who find their purpose in belittling those who are in their mind “subspecies”. I personally find it to be both funny and frustrating. Humourous bit of the situation is usually in a fact that those “superhumans” rarely have anything remotely original or witty in their “vocabulary of oral ejaculation”. Mostly they get their kicks out of pointing out the obvious – they are there to let loose, you are there to pick up the pieces. Blah, blah, blah …

Every now and the you might stumble upon the “jewel” among the turds and meet some progressive wankers who point out their educational background, wealth of their mommies and daddies or price tags on their close as basis for their “regal” treatment. But even those “special circumstances” are usually expressed in dull form and without an ounce of self-belief. And let’s be frank – if you are not buying your own bullshit, why should others give a toss? So do not despair, they don’t and they hardly ever will.

So to all you “special people” out there. Go ahead! Give it you best shot. If it makes you feel better or somehow more important – have a go! But keep in mind that every chalice has its measure. So whenever you are contemplating whether or not to show your lack of human decency by diminishing someone job or vocation, do keep in mind that might be the day when the chalice runs over. And if that should be the case don’t be shocked if your feet get soaked.
