I have to get this off my chest…
Clears throat…..
I believe that every human does, in one way or another, carry some kind of superiority complex. It may not be carried consciously or out of arrogance, but the truth is, sometimes we find ourselves feeling like we’re better than others.
Sometimes we feel superior because of our social status, race, gender, appearance, and the list goes on. Whatever it may be, we feel this sometimes. I’ll admit i’m not immune to it.
Quick side-note: This is different from dissociating yourself from people you feel bring a negative energy and influence into your life. It is perfectly OK to get rid of people and things that hinder your growth and evolution.
The difference here is that this superiority complex I’m referring to stems from ego, whilst the latter does not.
The first way of fixing this is to realize that it is a problem. We have so much to gain by shedding this unhealthy and superficial way of thinking which strips away our humility which is one of the best traits we can have. We limit ourselves by a lack of openness to an unconditional love for humanity.
When you choose love, you also choose positivity You choose a high vibration. Thus, you are choosing to attract more love and positivity into your life.
Unfortunately, we are often not fully accepting of others. We judge them with a “societal filter” of what is seen as acceptable, cool, attractive, etc., instead of embracing individuals for their uniqueness and imperfections. Today’s culture teaches us judgement first, instead of kindness to everyone.
This could be for two reasons.
One reason, as explained earlier, is that we have been indoctrinated with societal standards, and see the world through the lens that society has cast over our eyes. We therefore are not making use of our ability to tap into our own individuality and think freely from the core of who we and form our unique opinions.
Second, we are insecure. We see traits in other people that we wish to have, and instead of appreciating these and being inspired by them, we choose to let our egos get the best of us, finding flaws in the others to feel better about ourselves. This only leads to more negativity and judgment.
Another way to look at it is, if an individual is “different” we do not want to associate with them because society has made us view different as wrong.
a change…..
Humbling ourselves and realizing that we are not better than anyone. Our social status, wealth, looks and so on does not fully define us. What’s most important It is our character or the condition of our souls. Everything else is superficial and temporary.
Accepting, embracing, and loving ourselves first, and letting this positive image we have about ourselves reflect in the way we see others.
It is important to find happiness and contentment within ourselves. This way we will not feel the need to seek happiness from other people which will let society and all its illusions rule us. Being humble, loving and accepting of others will in turn bring love back to us. I believe that the love that you give out is never wasted. It is always brought back to you in some form.
Observing objectively (without judgement). Learn what kind of person you’re dealing with first by focusing on What makes them who they are. first impressions to me should not be formed by surface level analysis. Look deeper. Never judge a book by it’s cover.
We aren’t defined by temporary external factors—but mainly by the quality of our soul.
If we are more open and accepting, we open the doors to meeting people we can deeply connect with, learn from, and be inspired by.
I am to be more humble and chose love
