Confidence

When we are kids, its so damn easy. Everyone around us is better than us so all we do is admire and absorb. Questions are there but we just keep them aside,'they are elder to us, they sure know better' is what we think inside. Then come the age when we think of someone as our 'ideal'. He or she is what we want to be. But soon enough we realize there are some things about the person which is not what 'I' would like. So the intensity of idealization decreases. It seems that growing up is like a path towards confidence. As we grow, our confidence in ourselves grows which leads to the growth of things around us which are wrong. We are confident that we are right and hence things which don't go our way is wrong. That is when we start feeling irritated and frustrated. So is confidence the root cause of our irritation. I guess the word is "overconfidence". Kill it before it kills you.
