Feeling of Superiority vs. Inferiority
Life makes us to see many upheavals; sometimes it lets us to face failure and the other time to face success. These are the two very opposite but true ends of the string of life. And these two phases only make our life balanced. One takes us up and the other let us fall. At this point, I would like to point out that I have not mentioned which phase takes us up and which one brings us down. This is just because this decision depends entirely on us.
It is a very common or we can say a general trend to have the feeling of superiority when we go through the phase of success. We are the only ones who let us think that we are at the top. But at this point introspection is a must. We should think over and over that is this success a permanent one, are we not giving ourselves a boost more than which is required by us. So according to my view, this phase of success should be the one to bring us down. This ‘bringing down’ should not be misunderstood with failure, it only means bringing our entire ego, the feeling of superiority down, and hence, at this stage we make our life balanced.
Another general trend is to think ourselves as inferior ones when we face failure. It is said that humans grow their grief by thinking more and more about the cause of the grief. We bring ourselves and our abilities more and more down. We see successful people around and instead of taking inspiration from them we tend to grow a feeling of repulsion from them and the inferiority complex starts growing. Now, I would like to tell that whatever may be the situation, one should...no, no…must take oneself up, one must give oneself a boost because
We ourselves are the biggest helpers for us.
Hence, in the phase of failure also, we can make our life balanced. I know these are not so easy, but it has to be done, otherwise we will be the only ones to destroy ourselves.

ReplyDeleteI have been told that I act superior to my co-op workers using my title as site manager to boost my ego. I do see how some of my feelings of insecurity have came out inappropriately. Now, I have to find healthy way to deal with me behaviors of using my superiority to mask deep seeded feelings of infuriority.
