My Supreme Soul,
Some people think they are great, intelligent, and clever in this world. Everyone in this world will have a feel that “I am better than others” but for some, this thought will be fully loaded in their mind and we call it as ‘Superiority Complex’. “A feeling of superiority or exaggerated self-importance, often accompanied by excessive aggressiveness, arrogance, etc. which are compensation for feelings of inferiority.”
A deer thinks nothing is more beautiful than its horns and it will be killed for its horns by human beings. Just like a deer we build a sort of traditional superiority complex in our self. That too in case of youth, they think they are beat less and eager to get recognition. You would have heard people talking ‘I would have been there; I would have did better than you" and so. A guy thinks he should present himself different from others in front of a girl and girl thinks the same. Its common fact that the world which we are living is too competitive and we should think like this to win the race of life. But we should show our talent in right place where it deserves not like singing a song in front of crows. Superiority Complex affects all sort of group of people. He may be rich, poor, child, and old man so on. It cannot be cured but it is controllable. A Lecturer thinks his students are weak in subject than him. A politician feels ‘he is the soul of politics’. Having 20 years of experience in the same field a news paper publisher scolds his juniors for their creative thoughts. These people who think they are great will forget one thing. A lecturer will forget how he was when he was a student and it decreases his value. A Politician will not allow growing anyone because of his selfishness and destroys the future of the country. Lack of creativity brings the publisher down market.
“Everyone will have a talent which we don’t have. We should make use of it.” This comes to mind only for some people. Everyone should think how we were anticipating, expecting for encouragement from the people when we were in the same situation before and this cycle goes on continuous. Break the chain, show the world every human being is same only the environment which they grow makes them different. A six years old boy humbles to be leader in the class to present him special at the same time a ninety year old man will explain stories what he did in his past. That’s the power of Superiority complex.
A human being should have confidence that’s Self-confidence. A tiny over confidence which arise somewhere in mind destroys his whole effort. An unemployed who is underestimated even in family may become the president or prime minister of the country. Hitler and his Nazi army is best example for destruction by Superiority complex. This kills humans mentally by all divisions, religions, culture, language and country too. Stop praising our-self because we are suffering from Superiority Complex. We can’t cure it but we can avoid it.
Yours,
