Jim,
Well, what I mean is this; if you believe you are the smartest person in the workplace, but everyone think you are an idiot. You are not going anywhere and you might even be fired. If you goto the club thinking you are the hottest ****, but every girl think you are a piece of ****, you ain't getting a girl.
This might not imply to the person who is sane in an insane world and therefore insane as comparison to the rest of the world. You can even be the guy who sees the source as in Plato's cave. But see it from a micro-universe point of view as oppose to a macro-universe. If you go far and wide enough, you can find some village who believes you are a god; but until you find that village, you are not a god.
Just think of it as this, whatever you are not self-sufficient at, it is at the mercy of other people. If you need to spend money, you need to make money; and unlike vegetables which you can grow on your own, money has to be earned. This earned money comes from other people and depending on what they think of you, you can get as much or as little of it as you want, or even none at all.
This arguement will not hold up against those magic "Uncle Bob" arguements which goes like, my Uncle Bob prays to the money god and money flys out of thin air, and the likes.
The bottom line for me is that I do believe in this since my life is in no way self-sufficient. I have an employer and customers who I have to please. Their opinions of me counts way more than any of my own humble opinions of myself. Than aside from employment, which takes care of shelter, food, and the such, my love life is also based on what girls, those that I find attractive, thinks of me. This might be a catch 22 thing where we can argue on whether if I believe in myself and it will come or it came and therefore I believe in myself.
Nah, but who cares about this message. This message is only as important as the opinion of it from those who are reading this (Jim.) If those who read this belittles this message, than it is such, for I already know what this message says since I am the one who is writing this, and the writing of this message would have been in vain.
I am sorry for such a long message, I just needed a break from work.
Thank you all and goodbye.
