Superiority and Inferiority
You no longer harbor any desire to be a superior being, the best human that ever walks on this planet, especially when it comes to metaphysics. Such a grandiose dream was a product of acute feelings of inferiority complex. You now merely want to be better than what you were of yesterday. You now wish that your mind does not deteriorate as you enter the last decade(s) of your life and that you would not fail to recognize mental infirmities when and if they in fact occur. Thus you embark on a daily exercise of putting your thoughts on paper. If one day you realize that you have difficulty of searching for words to express your thoughts, then you know the day of reckoning has arrived.
You have stopped competing with others. You now only watch others so you can learn from them. Your ego is in check. Your mind is open. And your heart is calm, free from vexations and excitations. You refrain from making unsubstantiated claims and brazen, unwarranted assertions. You stop from trying to appear smarter than you really are. You are a sensitive human being, not an ass trying to bay incessantly to make your presence known.
You try not to lapse into anger and self-righteousness when others provoke you. You’ve seen the disastrous consequences of uncontrolled rages.
