There are plenty of people who are proud of themselves. God knows exactly of what, but they exhibit such attitudes that actually degrade themselves in the process.
 They monkey around and think of themselves as of great human beings. They are quite primitive in reality.

A person can pass a message decently with the idea of justice or with meanness and a desire to put down another human being.

I call these folks the Deprived ones since they judge and dwell on downgrading you. They are always right, self-centered and admiring themselves.

They are miserable in their spiritual blindness. That’s some self-punishment and deprivation.

Don’t even waste your nerves on these folks.
 In reality, they are deprived of being human. Deprived of common sense, how to act, how to be kind, descent. You should feel sorry for these people – not hate them. They rob themselves of the light and fairness, What can be worse?

Realize how poor they are inside and your grief would subside.

Look calmly at these people who show off how great they are, how they can boss you around. Stay calm so that, in their ignorance, they can not get the enjoyment out of your inferior reaction. They expect you to get upset, scared, maybe even provoke you to become angry in order to slam on you hard. They provoke you indeed.

In the face of such provocation, remain yourself. Don’t give them the energy to feed off your reaction. So show no reaction.

I know that can be hard, very hard at times. So learn, practice.

Next time you may encounter such situation, prepare yourself mentally.
 Knowing what to expect can help you.

Don’t look scared, look calm, c-a-l-m. 
You are dealing with a clown who thinks he or she is a monarch. 
Let the person clown around if that's his or her choice.

If notice your direct gaze is taken as a threat and challenge, look in their direction but slightly above the eye level or the tip of the head.
 They would notice that and may start pondering. It is their problem. 
You are not looking for a conflict – no hostile stare is involved.

The deprived ones love to show off in front of their boss or superior, “look at me, how I handle the situation, they all afraid of me, I protect your interests.”

Wise protection and acts involve no hostility or degradation.

If their superior welcomes their outbursts, they are worth each other and may, one day, even clash, giving each other the taste of their medicine.

Use all of that as a learning experience. If they are simply confused, they would come around and, one day, start acting better.

If they are mean, let that be their problem – take that a challenge. Grow, become stronger. If you meet nice people only, you would never become strong emotionally. 
So, inadvertently, these, deprived people may help you in your development. Once your roles reverse, that may happen; for, life is full of surprises, continue acting decently.

Don’t become like them. Stay with the light and virtues.
 Resist the temptations of vengeance. 
That’s the true growth: to rise to the top but not to return wrong done onto you. That’s some test.

Many can remain humble on the bottom of the power ladder. Remain decent on the top!

Many slaves overthrowing their tyrants became even worse than their oppressors. 
If some people chose to act like pigs, may that be their problem. 
Remain a human being yourself. That's within your power.
 Be virtues at all times - that’s the key to your, true and correct growth.
