agree to disagree

Today, my friend and I had a very interesting conversation. It was probably one of the most interesting discussions I've ever had. Actually, it was more him just ranting and me listening to what he had to say. It was captivating nonetheless . I was taken away by what he had to say. I never knew this person felt this way about certain people and that he held himself higher than anyone. 

In my head, I'm thinking to myself, "who is he to judge them"?. He doesn't know these people and he is basing his accusations on nothing. 

Him: Who are they?
Me: Who are you?
Him: I am everything. I have these potentials and gifts that I am now unraveling. 
Him: I can tell who someone is after knowing them for 5 minutes. 

He made many other generalizations which I did not agree with. However, he is entitled to his opinion. He was pretty mad that I didn't argue back but in his world, he can never be wrong. We just agreed to disagree, which didn't really solve anything but whatever.

That discussion got me thinking about how I view others. I try my best not to judge andI honestly feel that I do give people the benefit of the doubt. I am a firm believer in trusting someone until they give me a reason not to. Maybe I am to trusting? I don't know

I never saw this side of him. Maybe it was that half beer he had.
