I am going to start my book with a man laying in the desert next to a road, unconscious from something and the glint of the Sun off of a car passing by will wake him up. Jim Morrison didn't already do that in American Pastoral did he? Damn, I have to go check.

There's moments in life where things just make you feel inferior. There are some people that only come by these moments here and there. Some people have them more than those people. And then there's the people who just rake in the moments of inferiority. The poor often experience it more than the rich. The ugly more than the attractive. The unlucky for sure. There's also different kinds of personalities and environments too. Some environments promote stoicism and that helps against the creeping inferiority. Other environments compound the idea that you are inferior and some are the chief reason for this feeling. When does the person breakdown? At what moment in their life does the creeping inferiority begin to chip away at them? When does it break them? Who can resist it most and is it conquerable?

Inferiority is benchmarking. It's based on relativity. You're worse than that because of this. That is better than you because of this. It takes so much work to resist that. SO MUCH WORK.

Sometimes it's the persons themselves who create the inferiority complex. Because they do or do not do something. The easiest way through life is hard. It's not the hardest way through life though.

I'm just going to end.
