If you don't clearly understand what human stupidity consist of, just look around you. There are always wars, territorial conflicts among countries, slaughters and starvation. But it is not necessary to look so far to see the human stupidity. Pay attention to the news, read books and magazines, listen to those who surround you and observe what they quarrel and worry about, and at last, look at yourself. Mankind as well as having developed with brilliance, is a stupid species. The human being creates unnecessary problems for himself and for others and is not still qualified to live and coexist in peace and to advance with generosity and respect for the fellow-being and doesn't still imagine that each advance or own mistake implies an advance or a damage to the others. Simplifying, all this is a consequence of the egoism and arrogance of human being.
From the beginning of times man is a social being, hunter, warrior and territorial. Other species too. But other species haven't evolved as man has and must bear that he dominates on the face of the earth in many aspects, as if they were gods, arbitrarily and without getting worried about the results, some times catastrophic, of his dominion.
Animals can't get away from that spirit of domination, either. They practice it in their environment, and they fight among them. We also have the mandate of excelling others in bravery, intelligence, sagacity and sharpness. When we can't get this we feel a great frustration and we try to elaborate strategies so that we are not surpassed by others in any discipline, no matter how insignificant it may be. We always compete, even with the members of our own family and friends. We don't like to appear to be stupid and we find very difficult to recognize that there is someone who excels us. That's the way arrogance appears in our personality. We can't accept the virtues in our fellow-being, except when the differences are so visible that we have to recognize with resignation and without resentment. But we rarely accept this and can't analyze with simplicity which our mistakes are and how we can excel ourselves, not to avenge ourselves, but to know oneself better, to extend our horizon and to feel safer inside us and not to start personal quarrels with no sense at all. Instead, we feel resentment, envy and we practice strategies to hide our faults instead of solving them. Although our self-improvement spirit is enormous, it is also true that our arrogance can lead us to sickly extremes. Simplify your life and not to look for problems where there are not. When you see others competing or fighting for the mere pride of winning at all cost, look at yourself and from a neutral point or view, without taking sides and feeling your own internal reactions, listen to your thoughts as if you were a viewer of yourself. Try not to generate adverse reactions on others so as they wouldn't compete with you trying to destroy your impulse of surpassing them. Get away from the arrogant. But if you have to bear them because of your job, for example, you, little by little, will learn how to manage them so as they respect you, no matter how eminent they are. Don't try to humiliate those who surpass you or those who you surpass. Whatever way, everybody will learn from your security and lack of arrogance, and so you will be seen with admiration and respect. Very few will fight against you, and those who do, will soon discover that it isn't necessary to try to surpass you, because you are not a dangerous opponent if they don't touch your integrity. …………………….
