How the great man comes to be (hypothesis):

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was small in heart and tiny. The great men around him (with big egos) met him with big headedness and arrogance that made him feel like he was smaller.

 

Then the little man went to school and absorbed university degrees and then rank and enjoyed worldly success that all went to his head. Furthermore, in response to the inferiority complex that was partly due to the big headedness of others, he himself began to consider himself a great man (and thus greater than some unnamed ones) and became himself a great egotist and a superman. Therefore, it could perhaps be said that big headedness and egoism in one can encourage big headedness and egoism in another.

 

And the records fed his sense of greatness and life became one fight of winning fights with others, getting the better off and aiming "higher" which got even more to his head. In all the fussing and fighting, he became an emotionless robot who was guided almost exclusively by his own reasoning and the rule of not letting ANYONE step on him, but in the process became almost emotionless and was unsure of what the word emotions really meant.

 

Then when he had become both president and prime minister, he began imprisoning journalists who criticized him and firing judges who were not on his side. In the end, he went to war because he would not let ANYONE step on him.

 

Maybe it's best to see oneself as neither superior nor inferior to others?
