We spend much of our lives going about completely blind to reality, and yet we still have the gall to act victimized when it invariably catches up to us.

About This Quote

We spend much of our lives going about completely blind to reality, and yet we still have the gall to act victimized when it invariably catches up to us. This quote effectively means that we have the nerve to proclaim that we are victims, even though we are knowingly ignoring reality. The ultimate height of hubris is to believe that you are above the rest of the world when in fact everyone is simply trying their best to do their best in a world where all are blind to reality.
