Discovering confidence through achieved tranquility

“Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric – Bertrand_Russell”
Human beings are conditioned in a way that happens to be regarded to be driven by the motives of establishing a cultural and a religious being – being taught to believe in those systems whose validity is derived solely from their entrenched existences.Man since his birth itself and while he graces the stage of childhood is taught of the religious and cultural practices of his own closest primary group and is trained with rigorous efforts to follow those norms and belief systems without being really expounded on with the real logic behind those aspects – a fact driven by the further emotions of fear of the one in whose honor such practices are indeed established,and enshrined with ‘his’ sanction,since the sanction of a group of humans with no legal authority cannot come to be easily followed with the blinders on.
All this is rather sadly,conditioned to produce a belief that is based on a knowledge of superficial presence and in negative correlation with an analytic approach.Indeed the only possible logic followed in that regard is that it causes the establishment of order and ideal existence and lifestyle in those humans that are to follow those cultural provisions.
Such systems also demand an unconditional obedience to not the merit but to seniority and antiquity – and yet such an order that is the offspring of that culture is only subjective and could be rather discriminatory ,further bearing the fruits of violence and oppression in the mosaic of the collective conscience of certain other cultures and especially those that are condemned as ‘modern’ or ‘indifferent’ by them.
Hence,the belief in the one that cannot be seen but is supreme – is the belief to which the human race has been confined to for long in a level – while continuing to be the prisoners of the same on several more levels – as that locket with picture of the divine is earnestly attached to oneself in every place that man sets his feet on.
Indeed it is the fear of the one that knows all and that who is the play-maker which causes the humans to not falter in the conduction of any of the actions laid down by ‘him’, or else, the massive theatrical production that life is would be a major debacle.
Confidence And Its Unfavourable Facets
Confidence may also come to be regarded as being inherently embedded into one’s own inner self and dynamics and that which has been a part of certain ‘privileged’ sections of the humans since birth – even though such a ‘treasure’ that certain other humans are pitied for being deprived of may indeed be triggered by those forces that could not be referred to as being equally precious and worthy of the provision of protection.
Such forces are not the ones that are the processes that are desired by those living existences that are on a voyage to finding true meaning,and by the virtue of that further enhancing their own existence in the world, with the purpose of extending all that is positive and escalating to those that are needful – to those that can’t spell ‘pleasure’.
Confidence is a perception that indeed is of one’s own making and of a nature that pertains to superficiality – further lacking the pivotal attributes to enable the presence of an honest persona and not of those actions and engagements that are undesirably spurious.The only available advantage by way of this is,is the making of an image of the ‘ideal being’ in the eyes or those that fall victims to such a trap of a faux fest,further displaying awe and astonishment.
