“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.”
-Raylan Givens - created by Elmore Leonard
Good point.
Something to think about.
I haven't read the books or watched the shows, so my take away is based purely on this quote, knowing nothing about the context.
Here's what I get out of it:
It's not that the world isn't overpopulated with assholes.
It's not that it's unlikely you'll encounter more than one asshole throughout the day.
It's that if you're going through your day and it's just one asshole after another, and that's your entire perception of everyone you encounter, then the problem you're having is with yourself. You're the one making your entire day miserable, and it's likely that someone who does that to themselves is exuding major asshole vibes themselves.
A little bit law of attraction-ish. Not that I believe in that exactly, but maybe you get what you give.
