Why people who know somebody educate and smart , say about him that is arrogant? Is true, or just peoples who don t understand others like to blame? Is more easy just to blame, and never accept that one can be more smarter? Do you apreciatte somebody who is maybe more intelligent as you are? Is education a wall between people?

Jealousy is the answer. Some people do get inferiority if you don't get enough educated themselves. I have seen many people are like that. But many who are educated enough are very street smart and are good in manipulating people. For some are boasted about themselves that they are educated from abroad and should highly think of him. I will not do that. For me, we are treated as equal. And we are all different even though if we have the same school. Honestly, education is really needed to all of us and should not put a barrier between people who are the highest standard of education. We should be equal. Remember, that the education is a ticket for our career survival. And that's all. No competition and no barriers. =)

Yes, there are some who are like that..what I did is give them a smile. one day, they will understand. The reason why they got angry or pissed off because of jealousy...they can't have things that they want- education for example, second is the shelter life... So, don't bother it all. even I don't have good education background... while my friends are all educated from prestigious schools. Still, they underestimated me..but I don't care.. smart is not about school...it is more about how you handle things correctly. =) hehe

No they aren't, but the ones that think they are intelligent and educated - although often they aren't - many times are. As for the rest of your discussion most people don't like to feel inferior, so it's easier just to find a fault in someone that is threatening their (in) securities. I don't think education is , or should be, a wall between people. And thankfully I don't see it as such that much nowadays, but I know that in the past it has been.

Well not all. I have a friend back in college who is soo intelligent and he's at the top of the class in Psychology and the rest of the subjects. He is so bright that even professors look up to him. But then guess what? He look up to me like his older brother. I kind of influence him in life like learn how to enjoy life. Maybe not all intelligent people are arrogant. Some are lonely souls which needs someone to teach them how to enjoy life.

Sometime it is like that, but not all the time! Hehe! And to be honest, they always say that I am arrogant. Is it because I am from the most prestigious university in our country? Haha! Happy MyLotting!

Intelligence cannot be actually measured by mere academic marks one attains.Everyone has smartness and guts ,are actually to be the sustaining element in life.Education makes one feel he is not superior than anyone else present in the world,the one who does feel so,makes his existence felt by many wrong deed s too.Giving respect to another person's excellence should never be felt disgraceful of or ashamed of.Doing so make the person ,a better person than the other one.Normal people with an average frame of mind,must be with people whoa are much more Intelligent than themselves for actual success in life.

Just because peopple are educated and intellegent does not mean they are arrogant. There are plenty of people who are, but there are also plenty of people who aren't. Then there are those who are not overly intellegent or educated, but who have talents in other areas, but are arrogant due to their own talents.
