The God Complex

I have found that some people just like to hear themselves talk. Whether it be about something important, or about the most meaningless things. I understand that some people can go on and on about things, even hours later (sadly, I am one of those people and I know it), but then there are the people who decide to try to mix up the way the conversation is going, then turn their cheek to what they said in the first place.  And that is what is known as the God Complex.

There is one person I know, who will comment on anything, but when confronted about it will suddenly say "I was just giving you this information to be open to others opinions".  But what I don't understand is why would you want to start an argument, because that is what usually happens in these situations. I am all for listening to everyones opinions and supporting them whole heartedly, but sometimes you don't want just a random thought to ponder on. Sometimes you just need their support.

The God Complex, to define it for you all, is the belief that one is God (one being that person). They believe that their opinions are unquestionably correct.  If anyone has studied Greek dramas, it can also be seen as Hubris.

Now I can understand that sometimes you may be right, but you are never going to be completely right all the time. It can't be helped. People make mistakes and people learn from them. But when someone is so bluntly denying the fact that they were in the wrong, its disheartening.

But I'm flying under the radar this year, so I am just trying to let things play out. Be as they may.
