World Neighbor Deals With Difficult People

So at my day job I work with a guy who is an equal opportunity grouch. He is one of my customers and I am his supplier. Unfortunately he knows a lot about the industry and he works for a company with a culture that values condescension. This makes for a dangerous combination. He berates everyone on my team (and often people in his own company). As you can imagine this makes working a great joy. I’m not sure how people like this tick. I guess we all have to realize that people like this have incredibly low self-esteem and are miserable. Still I would like to haul off and clock this stooge sometimes. …just a little life lesson on a micro level. If we have these issues at a personal level how in the heck are we supposed to work things out between different ideologies, cultures, countries, religions, and politics? Well…call me an optimist but I think we can do better with all our relations. We will always have people that are difficult to deal with and we will just need to learn how to boost their self esteem enough to bring them along. Best o’ luck to you all – I know from first hand experience that it is no easy assignment.
