Read our powerful and eye-opening superiority quotes and sayings from popular thinkers and how the ‘I am the best’ attitude is detrimental to our being.
Feeling neither superior nor inferior can help us with our mental wellness and live a free life.
The tendency to feel superior arises when the inner intention is to demean others’ existence, self-worth and feel boastful about oneself.
Eraldo Banovac rightly quotes, ‘continuously feeling superior is a character of immaturity.’
Only an immature and insecure mind has this inner itch to prove its worth and hence wears the mask of superiority.
If we are already amazing, happy, alright, and contented within, then exhibiting superiority will not occur to us.
Relate with everybody in love, value each individual for what they are, and the need to behave inferior or superior won’t be needed.
At the maximum, reach out to somebody to help them and uplift their lives but do not relate with anybody to prove how great you are and how others are not.
Such a person will never have loving relationships, nor will they be able to form deeper bonds with anybody.
We hope our uplifting superiority quotes collection helps you look within and challenge this arrogant mental urge.
