There was an asshole uncle who had retired as ambassador, he had served in the army as Colonel. Because of the prevailing political conditions he became ambassador. He was extremely proud about his accomplishment, He had spoiled his son that refused to work, although he had an MBA. All the jobs he got were through his father's goodwill he quit and spends his days playing golf or sleeping. I of course had to work for living and make my ends meet spending long hours. Why my uncle deserved to be called an asshole, was not because of those things, though they should count, one day pulled out an encased bottle of expensive wine. Looked at me and said the meanest thing anyone could say "Can you afford to buy this? You cannot I know, only I can". He was shamelessly mocking me.
I was in the underprivileged category of my extended family. Nearly everyone in my extended family have had the benefit of being many times better off than I am. That somehow gave them the reason to avoid visiting me. In family functions they make it a point to avoid talking with me, as if they did, they would end up catching some terrible disease. Another cousin who falls in the same category as I do gets insulted and abused on a regular basis, the reason is because he is undeterred by humiliation. I make it a point avoid such people or end up fighting them.
