In life a lot of people are inadvertently battling inferiority complex without even knowing it, this is however strangely normal. The difference to the conditions that necessitates our existence is one of the reasons for this; we're threatened by people with more affluence in life, people who we perceive to be better than us either by looks, health conditions or even by prospects.

This might not be the feedback that is given off by these people but somehow we're cowed into fear, hatred, jealousy and a sense of pain. Life comes with a sense of competition and that is why people are pressured into public display of wealth on social media, there's a competitive tendency inbued into the mind of people and this is why people would always need to prove to themselves that they're better.

Money basically reflects in character, attitude and achievements but then because life often feels like a race; who buys the first ever floating buggatti and takes the first trip to Mars, "the most beautiful girl in the world contest", the competition for "the world's strongest man" or "the sexiest man alive Competition".

There's always a need in man to show they're better than their fellow human. Truth is, we would never be equal because everyone is unique in their existence. However because each and everyone is born into a world where they strives to be better than the other, there's always a feeling of inferiority brought about when people sense superiority, its like an insult to the ego and it brings a certain sense of disappointment but then this isn't always true.

Originally we tend to be too predictive, we tend to assume and we tend to read meaning just by looking at tendencies. We tend to assume the prospective characters of people by looking looking at our prospective actions should we be in the same shoes.

No one can generally read the mind of someone else but we tend to want to predict what is in the mind of people by looking at their actions, looking at their previous decisions and choices and their opinion on certain issues that might pertain to us.

Sometimes we often conclude that people would show superiority complex simply because of their attitude, the way they talk to other people we know them with and this is when we begin to develop a defensive mechanism to stay away from such people so as not to experience what other people with them experienced.

Our mind is everly calculative and most times it is always correct. One of the reasons why we can easily predict what people would do is because we tend to look at what we would do if we were in their shoes and honestly there is no much difference.

No one wants to feel the pain of experiencing what they have actually predicted about other people towards them. That is why people would rather choose to remain in ignorance rather than be exposed to the knowledge that might cause them pain. But then irrespective of the fact that our reality is flawed we would eventually face them.

Some People would use the imperfections of others to ridicule them not because they are perfect either but because it is a competitive tendency no one wants to be shot at before they shoot, people would rather prefer to attack than defend.

In conclusion, people who might feel superior even at their best will at one time feel begin to feel inferior, it is a cyclical process that comes with life. We cannot kill our competitive nature and if it comes to survivor that is when this instincts begin to kick in.
When people are faced with uncertainties that is when they begin to see their animalistic sides. We're utterly imperfect each and every one of us but some people would rather show others that they are more imperfect than they are. This is somehow showing dominance.

The world is not all "bed and roses" and even if people begin to suppress their dark side circumstances would eventually reveal it. We choose to be good and better people sometimes simply because it is the right thing but then sometimes we give it all up to become something horrible.
