Most people tend to underestimate themselves excessively. Many say, “Humility is the virtue,” perhaps influenced by social environment and education, but it’s more about recognizing mistakes and limitations than about one’s own potential. That is, self-judgment based on experience. Of course, there will be mistakes and limitations in the future that we haven’t yet encountered, but the possibilities and achievements will be just as numerous. If we assume the odds are about equal, then we shouldn’t need to underrate ourselves. Excessive self-confidence or showiness is a problem, but so is underconfidence. Too much or too little is called arrogance. In Christianity, it’s considered “sin.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When it comes to people, what is more frightening, guns or bullets? Of course, it is a gun. People are more sensitive to direct threats than indirect threats. The invisible is not afraid. The essence of fear comes from the “unknown,” but it also comes into contact with calculations that seem more likely to be a threat. The free time that threats have not yet been implemented plays a rich soil in corruption and crime. However, the guns and bullets are all scary. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
