"To me, he was arrogant, and judgemental and impossible... and he was all of those things... but then, so am I... so are all of you."
Now in this series, that was probably a particularly true statement for the "people" present in the scene, but it struck me as quite true as a general condition of mankind. We tend to believe we are the hero or tragedy of the universe... the main character of life. Whether we ourselves are "judgmental and impossible," we definitely have little trouble finding those things in others. Everyone else "just doesn't understand."
