Classism Bothers Me

If there's something that bugs me, it's people who are classist. I am a person who really makes an effort to treat everyone equally, without racism or classism. As Epictetus says, "I am richer than you; therefore I am superior to you..But rather these are valid: 'I am richer than you; therefore my property is superior to yours'" (26). I completely agree with him in this sentence because no human is superior to another because of their richness. I find it ridiculous to feel superior for being rich or not. Many people in this world don't have the opportunity that others do to gain money. For this reason, I find it ignorant to rate yourself for the amount of money you have. As Epictetus says, I do find it valid for someone to say that one object is superior to the other. If someone has a modern phone, the phone is far superior form a phone from ten years ago, and therefore I think it's acceptable to make that assumption. Another thing that upsets me about people's reactions is when they think that since you did something quickly, you must have done it badly. "Someone takes a bath quickly; do not say that he does it badly." (26) I agree with Epictetus because doing something quickly has nothing to do with doing it badly. A perfect example is when I am studying for a test, or simply doing homework. Sometimes it just doesn't take long to do something, but the question from my mom always has to come. Did you do it well? Yes, is always my answer, but she never believes me. I hate when this happens because if you think that something is well done and clear, then why spend more time on it. This is a dilemma that I come across everyday since I am a faster worker than many people.
