Why do we ever feel inferior to another person? After all we each have the commonality of being a part of the human race and each of us has issues with regard to our human condition. We all are imperfect, we must eat and drink (food that has some nutritional substance) in order to live, we all think that our problems should be resolved first. We all take things for granted at different times in our lives, sometimes we have no regard for our "neighbor"...I could go on and on.
This feeling of inferiority we have all felt at some time in our life, even if we didn't realize what we were feeling due to age, stature, etc. It goes right along with the feeling of inadequacy. Whether it is self-induced or brought on from someone else's expectations of who we are as a person is ultimately irrelevant. We suddenly feel as though the world is collapsing in on itself and there is nothing we can do to stop it except try to one up them the next time around and so it becomes a vicious cycle of I'm better than you, worse than you, better than you...something's gotta give.
We all need to realize that we are in this journey together. None of us is perfect. We need to stop feeling inferior to someone else because we think they are better (even if they are at some things). We need to stop judging each other based on our perceptions and just love each other for who we all are. And although some people have talents or are gifted in one area of their life does not make me inferior to them by any means. I have gifts and talents that my brothers know not of and they likewise have talents and gifts which I am completely unaware...why you ask...very simply put; We haven't taken the time to stop, see and ask for help on our journey.
You see the Truth is:
NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT!!!
