Does anyone else feel like you are talking to cavemen when you are out in the real world?

Superiority
One of the biggest consequences a seeker who “enlightens his/her ego” will find is that of a stronger sense of superiority. We begin to look at ourselves as already awakened or wise and thus we look at everyone else in society who does not speak of the same things as un-awakened or unwise. Our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, bosses, leaders… all of them suddenly become the ‘sheep’ while we remain the ‘good guys’, the awakened, in our mind. We see them as blind to reality and judge them accordingly for this. Thus we seek to awaken them by telling them our perspective on life, on reality, and when they reject this notion or do not understand what we are saying we become frustrated and angry. This of course only shows how un-awakened we truly are, for, a truly awakened person will not act out in frustration or anger at anyone, even those who are rejecting what we ‘know’ to be the truth. Christ and Buddha are perfect examples of this.
Quoting: Nacht im Walde Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10372631 Well I don't think we really get angry and frustrated towards the dumb people, we get angry and frustrated because we feel lonely in such a drab and dire world. Everyone looks for company. We get sick when we can't find it.
