Generally speaking, first-borns have a significant set of characteristics that usually separates from all others. They tend to be arrogant, to think they know everything, to believe that they are right in everything, which is why romantic relationships involving two first-borns can get problematic as neither would be willing to give in (I am still, speaking in general, from personal experience etc etc, u know the drill) But what happens when a first-born does not even fit into this category. Not in the sense that they do not match these qualities but they display similar characteristics but in a much more exaggerated manner? Well, this is a special case, but for privacy purposes, I will not mention any names.
In this very special case, the person in question is beyond arrogant, beyond self-righteousness and way way way beyond overbearing. To put it in ten words or more, he is *audacious, autocratic, bossy, conceited, contemptuous, domineering, egoistic, haughty, pompous, presumptuous, proud, puffed up and vain.
You see, in life, advices from people who are older, respected (or even respectable), wiser, smarter etc, are generally helpful. BUT sometimes some people forget that we no longer live in an effed-up, oppressive society. From what I last heard, people are given the free will to live their own lives, make their own choices etc. Advices are meant as a guide, but ultimately, does it not lie in our own choice to decide whether or not that advice is put to use or disregarded?
Finally, before one starts spooning off advices to other people, one must look at him/herself. If one is a person who is (as stated above) older, respected, respectable, wiser, smarter etc, one has every right to do so. Being older is not enough though. Think prehistoric men. Heck! They are 'older' but I don't see them being smarter. When one has the other characteristics, apart from the disregarded first one, i suppose dishing out advices is fine. What if in the eyes of others (like literally everyone) you're nothing more than a * (please insert from top). That in itself is not so bad. But what if on top of all this, you do not 'give' advice but u impose it on others expecting them to obey. When you are actually, honestly, frankly, doing a hell lot worse.
There are a lot of things I want to mention but I do not want to as it would be very specific as to who I am talking about. So... I am going to leave it at that. Rawr! I am still pissed.
