What is it?!

Superiority is a concept commonly fallaciously talked about or falsely adopted by many. However, let us understand, what this superiority really means and whether we all are in true terms the "superior" race we claim to be.

Superiority may be defined as 'being of a higher nature or kind.' But what is this 'higher nature' really? Is it merely talking suave, walking like a feline, dressing chic or just keeping aloof for that matter? Well,to be true, i too have not really understood what this 'superiority thingy' really means, and i dont think many of us have also!

Everything seems to be relative, for what you may percieve to be superior or avant garde may be some sort of primitive act for others. And so, those who claim to have attained that awfully high level of superiority may just be making themselves sole antique 'losers'. Who knows?

Truly, i am in a dilemma. I want you to explain to me what 'superiority' really is. I want to know when is a person superior and when is he not. Is superiority merely a feeling of 'high' or is it something everyone perceives to be the same? And most of all, does it exist as a mere 11 letter word?

A person becomes superior only when he/she has discovered the "selfless self" - the real you!

The only way to enjoy life and be a superior being is when you live and enjoy life with a sense of detached amusement!
