The next time you are afraid of an asshole,
take 10 minutes out of your time to sit them down and
ask them a personal question.
Maybe one about a love that didn't last, or why they're afraid of trust.
Listen to their ego while it's calm,
pay attention to the human being that really is in there
and remember that calmness
the next time your assumption of them in your head screams judgment.
