Adequateness and Modesty

For a long time, I’m thinking on this issue, but I found time to write this yet. You can ask me that what is adequateness. Don’t panic, I will be explain
. In a few days ago, in the class, our teacher asked a question which can be classified as “general culture”. I didn’t know the answer, but a student replied the question. When I realized who reply to question, I absolutely shocked.
I discover something very interesting in my own. From the beginning of the school, I feel moods to this guy. I saw that, this feeling transformed another feeling later: Underestimation. His actions, speeches seem like ordinary. However, after his answer to that question, I saw that I am at the middle of a huge mistake. After that event, my point of view is changed.
Our one of the biggest mistake is “Adequateness Psychology”, I guess. I don’t know whether it has another name in psychology or not. I understand, if a person sees himself at a certain rank, he cannot make any progress. He stops at his that rank, and starts to watch other people only. He suppose that he is at high, but actually he is chewed under the feet. Nobody should say “Wow! What I achieved is unbelievable”. If a person said this cursed words, he becomes a loser. It is valid for religious and social issues. Person who said “I am adequate for myself, I don’t need anybody” becomes a real loser.
This high megalomania, throws person from the cliff. There can be some exceptions, but in best case, person doesn’t move even one step further. People should accept that they are good in some fields, bad in other fields. Also a person should know that his journey never finish during his lifetime. It shouldn’t. Because of that, I think the most important virtue of a person should be modesty. In my eyes, he is always ahead 1-0 of other people. In every job, he knows his inadequateness, he accedes, but he tries for his best. Moreover, he protect himself from undesirable results. His expectation is not big, so his failure doesn’t make any trouble for him.
The person who is as blind as seems himself at high, tries to crush other people. (i.e. me!) However, there are lots of thing which should be learned from other people. You have something to learn from me, I have something to learn from you. In my 19 years life, of course I have learned something valuable. Therefore, people shouldn’t say what I became. He should always look forward. Here it is, this person can be beneficial for his own country and nation.
At this point, I want to add one more thing. Human is inadequate. He has mistakes, he has deficients. What did we say? Didn’t we say he has something to learn? Okey, what is the best learning centers for human beings? I guess, books. Books tells people that they are inadequate. Books were important for me, after that they are very special for me. For you too, right?
What Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi said: “Be like earthen in modesty and humility.”
