Identity Crisis, Ego and Confidence Explained
By shiva on Mar 22, 2010 | In Welcome | Send feedback »
What is Identity Crisis - It is state of immaturity. It is a weakness more pronounced when the power is in the
undeserving and ineligible hands.
The reason being knowledge eliminates ignorance. Ignorance is because of lack of
understanding. Lack of understanding is lack of Control. Lack of control is losing power. Losing power is becoming weak. Weakness is insecurity. Insecurity is Fear.
Fear takes refuge in alternative measures to escape the truth which is the weakness.Weakness is the Inability to Control. But Control is Power. So what is the solution to get Power.
The alternative measure is building an illusion of strength which is
called Ego in one self to start with. The basic unit of illusion of strength
is confidence and data/statistics NOT the absolute truth. To escape the reminders of weakness from truth and to MOVE-ON all the energies are focussed to
strengthen the illusion. Among them the foremost is CREATING FACTS/STATS and / or living in a set of biased attitudes or data. The next step is to start creating a community of followers of this illusion. It becomes a whril pool of wasteful attempts to
fool the world or a subset of the world.
ALTERNATIVE PATH: When will this alternative path thought comes in an individual or group of individuals ? The answer is simple: When these guys are hurt. What is Hurting: That they are weak. Their ignorance / EGO / illusion will not allow them to accept that they are weak since all through their life they have experienced a luxurious and/or powerful life style with out the need for hard work and/or introspection. They have been under the illusion or under the field of power of
their ancestors from their childhood. Hence they remained in that illusion that they are also equally
powerful. In essence, they were enjoying the power left by their earlier ancestors who were knowledgeable, hence had control and hence powerful. Those guys who get hurt are weak. But when they realize they are not strong, they want to become strong and powerful. Because of their immaturity to understand power, control and its association to knowledge and the insecure feeling of loosing the power and hence the control which finally leads to change of luxurious /powered life style, they will take the help from the EGO.
