Most people are dumb, lazy, and unattractive. Everyone knows it. Everyone feels it. And you know it too.
You don’t want to hire stupid, lazy people. You don’t want to be friends with them. You don’t want to date unattractive, unhealthy people. Yet most people pretend that none of this exists and that everyone is equally beautiful and desirable.
And when you are weak, stupid, and unattractive, you pretend that none of this exists, because it is a defensive mechanism. You can’t judge others — you are in the same boat. So you pretend that everyone is beautiful, just so you don’t have to face your own weakness and laziness.
And the funniest thing is that when you start working on yourself and level up — become strong, intelligent, attractive, and wealthy — you begin to notice weakness in other people, and it starts irritating you. Your standards rise, and you start seeing the world differently, without defences.
