One Moment In Time

There is one thing which vexes all men, one thing that naturally finds its way into the deepest part of man's heart - it is vile, it is controlling and it is destructive. Ever so often, it creeps silently and without alarm, making its way into the psyche of even the most civil and noble of people. Never shall it be eliminated but ever will it rear its ugly head.
Perfection without fault or weakness is a perception by which all men are vexed. Biologically, no man deliberately attempts foolishness in the company of others; he would rather succumb to the ideologies of his better kind than suffer the dreaded fate of animosity to their ideals. Such situation is grossly exacerbated when he offers up a much more reasonable ideal than those understood by those who deem themselves more knowledgeable.
Sometimes playing down genius and occasionally displaying defects in ability earns more sympathetic-driven and genuine response than otherwise: It is now then safe to conclude beyond reasonable doubt that the human animal has a hard time dealing with feelings of inferiority.
Worthy of note is the fact that the feeling of inferiority is one that comes involuntarily, never at will - hence, none may be consciously aware of it, let alone admit it within himself.
Environments are generally more conducive to such feelings than others; its effect more serious among colleagues and peers, wherein there is some required veneer of equality.
It is in environment such as these that success and achievement stay prone to measurement by certain standards - and though the inferiority effect stays dialed down, it is however present but never a problem until it is a problem.
Is it now wise to wait for such a time when it becomes a problem? The time needed in completely eliminating it is still a time better spent avoiding it in the first instance; for in that moment will emotions keep from degenerating into absurd slander and hate.
And if this is too difficult for sake of ego, then by all means stay perfect, obvious and without fault; but remember the only moment in time this alternative serves to inspire resides only in death.
