Presently, the world population is projected to be an approximate 6.68 billion people.
It is my personal estimation that, at least, 10 percent of this number is made up of difficult people who make the lives of others uncomfortably frustrated, if not downright miserable.
Now, during the course of any given day, one is bound to meet up with, shall I say, another human being whose "interpersonal skills" may range from mildly to severely "challenged," i.e. @ssholes.
These "empathically dysfunctional" persons cover the spectrum of the socio-economic strata and every race or cultural background. They are teachers, preachers, doctors, lawyers, nurses, police officers, firemen, judges, Presidents, Kings, Queens, foremen, supervisors, managers, CEOs, bus drivers, soccer moms, etc...They can be found from Wal-Mart to Wall Street.
Ten percent of the world population is about 668 million people.
That's a lot of @ssholes, and they're out there. So, the next time you meet one of them, don't allow him or her to rattle your sensibilities.
Just know and govern yourself accordingly that you are dealing with one of the "10 Percenters."
