Assholes, for me, are those who cannot think critically, but still believe their opinions are valid, who think they know without having read or experienced, who think their self-sustaining ideas are universal absolutes, who see nihilism as a viable alternative to belief, who cannot compromise ever and who think they know God well enough to tell the rest of us what God expects of us. Now, given those criteria, I’ve, at one time or another, been an asshole on all counts. But I’m working on improvement.
An asshole is a superior jerk, an imcomparable idiot, a person who thinks their feces does not stink. An asshole is a good friend that is playing with your head, it is that family member that knows which buttons of yours to push just for a laugh. Asshole is a good person or a bad person. Its a very usefull name that takes on whatever meaning we need to give it.
