Discusssing mediocrity with Lord John i heard something supposedly Patapievici once said: When together, intelligent people like to talk about ideas and concepts; mediocre ones like to discuss current events, and regular folk just gossip.
I'm confident this will soon become a motif in my mind.

Speaking of everyday ignorance, nothing breaks my day more than music-related ignorance.
More then half the times I become arrogant are 'generated' by looking at people who claim to hear the notes, yet percieve nothing. I'm empathic and know i know nothing, which allows me to be a good listener, yet not claim my way is 'the only way', as so many do...
That's a great quality of mine, one that makes me above the average close-mindedness. One that fills me with loath.

There IS something linking the Patapievici quote with what I just wrote... but I'm not in the moood for it now. To be continued...

We're only gonna die from our own arrogance (Bad Religion)
That's why we might as well take our time
