The Inferior

When a person lives from the standpoint of his or her personality, disorder arises and will tend to find the state of being inferior.

When the self-image has been established, anything that counteracts it will be felt as painful.

Because of this, the human will protect the self-image and say and act upon things that will increase the importance in the presence of others.

Even in the most casual meetings, like watching a soccer game within a group, or socialising at a party. There will be competitiveness.

This is sometimes called inferiority complex and Google defines it like this:

In psychology, an inferiority complex is an intense personal feeling of inadequacy, often resulting in the belief that one is in some way deficient, or inferior, to others.

If a human is playing the game of thrones, the inferiority complex will forever stay. It is a zero-sum game. Sometimes there is a win, and sometimes there is a loss. In the end, there is nothing to gain from it.

I remember when I used to play it.

Many years ago, I was very into building my body for various reasons. My body was at a professional athlete level and there was a strong desire for it back then. Whenever a man with also a strong physical body appeared within my sight, the state of being inferior arose, and conflict, disorder and fear came creeping with it.

I did not build my body based on the talent I have for lifting heavy things or for the sake of the craft itself, but to construct a personality that would seem superior to others. This would temporarily feed the feeling of not being inferior.

The understanding of the layers beneath this sensation is key to act without a self-image and a artificial personality.

The freedom that comes with it is indescribable.

If someone would have told me back then what is written in this text, I would not have listened to a word of it, and that is not strange at all. How could it be? This was the world I was living in. It was the only place I knew.

Understand this, when the personality is stripped away, you stand with what is left.

And that is the actual. That is the master. That is what every human being is trying to get from all the accomplishments.
