ARISTOCRATIC EGOTISM

I’ve seen the term Aristocrat, I know what it means and all terms relating to it-Aristocratic, Aristocracy...

I’ve also seen the term Ego, we know what it means and then, terms that are related to it-Egotistical, Egotism, Egocentric....

But I’ve never seen both of them used together, not until I was reading- This Side Of Paradise By F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Excuse me for being inquisitive but I was really interested in this phrase and decided to do my research.

Now I know my articles (can I call it that ?) are usually long but please be patient enough to read to the end, and I’m sorry but I always just have to get my dictionary involved, its makes the whole process easier to understand.

So Warriors And Angels, I’d Kickstart By Defining ARISTOCRATIC and EGOTISM in reference to the OXFORD ADVANCED LEARNERS DICTIONARY (9th Edition)

ARISTOCRATIC ;

Belonging to or typical to the ARISTOCRACY !

••••Before we proceed, what’s Aristocracy ? - People born in the highest social class, who have special titles.

 

EGOTISM ;

The Fact of thinking that you are better or more important than anyone else.

So quick one before we proceed, we can all agree that the term EGO and other relating terms (egotism, egotistic...) are more often associated with bad than good. But I beg to differ ! EGO is simply your sense of your own value and importance. We all have that, we alllll do ! But then most people take it a little farther and they become conceited, that’s not why we’re here, I’m just saying, we should stop using the term EGO wrongly or rather we should stop associating it with bad.

Moving on,

Aristocratic + Egotism 

Hmm....

Thinking you’re better than anyone else because of your high social class ? 

I definitely think this is it folks, no more, no less, what do you think ?
