Someone once was heard to say to his disciples, "If you hesitate to deliver a speech in a gathering of hundreds or thousands of audiences, think of these people as quite inferior to you and you will go on speaking and speaking." I never happened to meet that fellow again fortunately or unfortunately. None of his disciples I found ever to shine in speaking art in any big gathering.
As on those days I was a failure in speaking even in a group of 5 or 6 people because of lack of confidence so I gave it a try out of curiosity. I could speak a lot by formulating this kind of 'superiority complex' within myself but that took me to a flight of 'over confidence' causing severe damage to my image and as a result they took me as a stupid.
We need confidence in performing anything we wish but that confidence should be of moderate measure, not at all, 'over confidence'.
In the past I also used to develop a tendency of rejecting others opinions in the light of mine and most often what I did is I began to consider other people as inferior to me in so doing but the ultimate result I received was almost drastically poor. That created shame, resentment, rage, revenge, hostility and anger in my mind making me heavy hearted and as a reward for that I got myself dishonored with only unhappiness.
My B.P. unnecessarily rose up. By keeping up with that condition of my such physical disorder latter I discovered to my surprise that it was only I who is the loser physically, mentally and even spiritually because of this kind of blunder I often committed whimsically that I should have never done for the sake of my happiness I deserve.
You have said about the moderators or other people struggle much to condemn you and your thought pattern on a certain issue. That happens often in the life of flourishing people many of whom are known as great. You know, < Nobody criticizes a person who never performs a remarkable deed either small or big.>
That's why many senior wise people I have heard and seen to say and perform about generating happiness or else to approach towards these virtuous deeds more in a 'positive manner' than a negative one as the latter sooner or latter brings unhappiness but never happiness.
