Page 48 - Confident Creatures

Overconfidence is sometimes what motivates people to commit
crimes. Take for example the terrorism actions. To counter the

security measures, the terrorists employ high degrees of self
confidence such that they end up accepting death and make their plan

and mission successful. They also declare war on the most well
equipped armies in the world like the US and their threats are real

because they do attack.

The above photo shows smoke fumes from the 9/11 attacks. Such

confidence to execute atrocities is not good because it leads to the
suffering of innocent people. Overconfidence can lead to the

development of dictatorial ideas. Take the example of a leader like
Muammar Gaddafi who has been the leader of Libya since 1969.

After an uprising against him in the country, he orders the armed
forces to attack the demonstrators using heavy artillery and bombs

prompting the international community to intervene. After air strikes

by NATO, the strongman still remains in the power and vows NEVER
TO SURRENDER. He is fully aware that innocent men and women

are dying because of his actions and he does not care. This is wrong.
Confidence should be used to plan and execute proper ideas which

benefit everyone.

Do not be overconfident of yourself as this is wrong. With Over

confidence you cannot create your ideal lifestyle by realizing your full
potential through confidence
