To me there are two types of people in this world, those who be and those who observe. I regard myself as an observer. Human behavior truly fascinates me. The amount one can learn from observing others is quite astonishing. Although at times observing others can also be overwhelming when considering the flaws in human behavior.
One of these flaws in human behavior is related to social interaction. This flaw occurs in all types of everyday social interactions, yet we do not notice it or we maybe we choose not to notice it unconsciously. When interacting with family, friends, or even a complete stranger, we often "show off". This "showing off" is in fact our subconscious efforts to deem ourselves as superior and the other as inferior.
By observing and listening to people in your family or friendship group. What you will find will surprise you. People will only often talk about attributes that are positive towards their self. This, funny enough, can be identified by yourself primarily because you do it yourself almost everyday. Everyone does. It's in human nature. However, by acknowledging it one is able to better themselves as an individual and move ones consciousness further.
