Categorizing People :S

In a country like Egypt, you will notice different social classes. If you become a close friend to each one of them you would, first, get lost, second laugh. You will meet the following:
        a) the poor fellow who is silent and hides when he sees you just because you seem luxurious. So, he always has that fear that you would make fun of him and even if you have a pound more than him he steps away from you afraid to get introduced to a world would make him hates his reality!
        b) Another poor fellow who is amazed by the way you look and the way you talk. So, the first eye contact, he smiles at you and he puts in his mind "The day I will be his friend, it will be my life turning point" He makes you his own inspiration, the person who is apparently financially comfortable with nice friends and a family of high ranks. For you it will be like "Freak Out" Your thoughts will seize you in "he wants to use me" thought. While you could just look at the bright side "Oh I am someone's inspiration" and thanks Allah and your family that made you somehow perfect that you became someone's inspiration.
       c) Intermediate fellow who is common between the two classes, well, in my opinion his life is the best ONLY when he treats BOTH WELL. When he is loyal to his poor fellow, proud to hang out with him, stand next to him whatever was the consequences and never makes him feel like there is luxurious life he is missing out there as long as he is not capable to do it. When he is with his -may call them- "rich" friend he is being himself, shares with him his sad and happy moments, never make fun of his style of talking when he is away or how spoiled he might be and he never spreads his secrets. All in all, I think intermediate fellow is perfect ONLY when he is treating both because, he would have the experience of what real sorrow is from the poor one and what real aim and reaching to the top does mean from the "rich" one.
       d) Another intermediate fellow but that type I wish you never meet!!! He is a snob with everybody even those he know well that they belong to way higher social class than his, but he still acts like..... silly celebrity who is not talented and has no fans but still smile to the camera and say "I am proud of my work! It is all for the fans" :S He seem to intend to hurt the poor fellow's feeling, you feel like he is kinda bullying. (I can't deny there is bullying "poor fellows" but it is back to the "snobs" who never get them a chance to be what they want to be.) Anyway sometimes that kind of person always wants the world to spin round him ONLY! And surprisingly his friends stand him, because his ego gives him prestige, and for a society mainly cares about appearance, this Cruel type -for me he is- survives.
      e) Rich fellow and you may notice he is Rich, not "Rich" You will get my point later. He is a rich dude, wears fine, intellectual, his education add respect to his prestige. He always talk and say "We" he doesn't mention who his parents are unless he is asked, yes he is proud of them but he wants his friends to be For him not For who his parents are. He talks with everybody, he doesn't have this "categorizing my colleagues" option. He always notice who cares for him from the lower classes and he cares back, even more. He loves his friends from the same class since they get him fast. That kind of man we call him "Well raised" "Rare species of gentle men" cause it is well-known that money ruin people specially who was born having them.
      d) Another rich fellow he is not a snob but he is so kind that may people call him dork! He trust everyone never noticed there is difference between people's social classes, he just LIVING. Never care to think. He can be a close friend to a poor fellow BUT his same category friends pull him inside their shell.
      e) Another the "rich" fellow (I have talked about the previous paragraph) I consider him doesn't exist, cause he's always talking in another language, talking about another countries, trying to listen to musicians hard for you to know them. Just he enjoys drawing barriers between him and his real community thinking that this would be the best thing ever to feel superior to others. Don't blame him! He thinks those "others" are "losers" I mean he blames them for not working enough hard to be just like him! Haha! he doesn't know how life is hard. Still don't blame him who raised him up forgot to tell him "Never keep yourself in a shell where you are comfortable, you have to get out and mingle so when your shell is crashed you will know how to adapt."
The most irritating thing that I had to mention "adjectives" which for me will sound somehow racist but I had to let you get my point. Anyway, I don't mean what I've said is RULES or KEY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR SOCIETY never. You will find exceptions bad one, good one it is your fate. Just don't forget to meet everybody with a smile, dig into their past cause may be that "bad/evil/whatsoever makes them looks negatively odd" part we see in them is just a consequence of terrible past which obliged them to be who they are. Never look down at somebody and being humble is the best.
