“Mocking Spider
Forget the mockingbird that symbolises an innocent victim; society is also profused with mocking spiders: the victimizers. These spidery personalities often hail from lowly states, rising to a higher one and pluming themselves with their newfound status. They prowl about with a condescending air, mocking everyone around them. Jealous guardians of their own fragile status, they become intensely self-centred. Stuck within their cocoon, their narrow perspective does not permit them to see life in its wholeness. Thus, whenever they encounter someone who does not subscribe to their cramped view of the world, they leap to conclusions and dismiss such people as weird, rustic, low class, or something similarly contemptuous. These mocking spiders behave this way because their past, handed down through generations, is riddled with cobwebs: echoes of a long-standing lowly status. When such people receive even a minor lift in position, they can scarcely contain themselves. In their mockery, they ultimately expose their own spidery past and, in the end, mock no one more than themselves.”
