Am I a Snob............??

Am I a snob...............??

The other day I was looking at a food label, and thought some of the contents were extraordinary.  

So I handed it to my co-worker and said, "Here, read this."

Little did I know she would read it out loud to me.  Poorly.  I'm sorry, it was like she was in Grade Six.  

Maybe she doesn't read  much, or isn't interested in reading.  Maybe she has a learning or reading disability.  

I was embarrassed for her, and embarrassed myself that I didn't make it clear I hadn't expected her to read aloud.

Then I started to feel really bad that I felt I was looking down on her for her poor reading.  I was actually starting to feel smug and a bit superior.  Crap!!  I don't want to feel like that.  

I was judging.  I was comparing the two of us.  Not fair.  

And I felt bad because of it.  I like her, and I was mentally putting her down.

Do I apologize?  For my thoughts?  I don't think so!  

Can I change my thought patterns?  I don't think so.

Maybe I can change my reactions and be a bit more open-minded................................
