2.2.4 Fear and respect

2.2.4 Fear and respect

Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger while respect is a feeling of appreciative. Fear takes place when you feel there is something that can harm you. But respect comes when someone is being regarded with honor or esteem.

If a person is fear of something then he cannot respect those particular things in any way. But if you totally respect someone then you do not have fear for them. We have noticed that a child gets fear to go to his old grandparent’s room when they are present in that room. But the day he starts to respect them, his all fear would be escaped away.

Feeling like fear for someone develops the negativity in people’s life.in other hand respect for someone not only motivates you but also develops your self-confidence. There is a huge difference in doing your work either due to fear or respect. If it is respect then you do it for your own sake. If not then you will always push it for completion without trying to learn from those works.

Fear can be considered as a low-level emotion. It can lead to one consequence: avoidance. When you have fear for something or somebody, you want to avoid that thing. Whereas, respect is a very high-level emotion, involving the convergence of many other concepts. And respect, unlike fear, allows for many possible responses. I might be compelled to speak with people I respect, but I could avoid them if I want.

Well I want to conclude by saying that fear and respect are very similar feelings. There is no respect in fearing someone, or vice versa. There will be only a response to a danger, and a change in attitude one doubts in the desire to escape that danger. Real respect is empathy and understanding, of two different people on a level ground, looking straight at each other.

Confidence And Arrogance

Confidence and arrogance

Well there is a bit difference between confidence and arrogance. Starting with confidence, it is firm belief in one’s power, abilities and capabilities. A confident person is not one who only believes himself but they also have faith and positive attitudes towards others.

Where arrogance is negative personality traits. Arrogance means “bigging yourself up”—whether publicly or just inside your own mind. It also involves knocking others down at the same time.

If we compare a confident person with an arrogant then there is a huge difference between them. A confident guy is always straight forward. He does not need to show off what he is and what he can do.an arrogant guy tries to be perfect but he is totally hollow from inside. He tries to prove what he is not. The fact behind it is that he does not have strong belief on himself.

Confident people always believe in competing their own records. They never underestimate others. They think what they can do, that can be done by others too. But arrogant people always try to compare themselves with others. They are more satisfied being one step forward than others, instead of achieving their major goal of their life.

Arrogant people have negative attitudes on them. It is hard for them to believe they are wrong. They pretend and try to convince themselves that they can never be wrong. Especially because of these attitudes people gets irritate with them.

Confident people listen and acknowledge others. They believe that how much they share, they will get more in return. But arrogant people think if they share then others will top them. And that cannot be digested by them.

Arrogant people only feel smart if they find someone else being stupid. They even try to humiliate others if they find grammatical errors. Arrogance is about intent: it is when ability is used to look down on others.

Confident people always try to know whether they are right or wrong. If they find they are wrong in some way then they try to correct those mistakes instead of pretending to be right.

Through this blog I want to say that it is good to be confident. But too much of confidence may lead to arrogance. Every good aspect has bad aspect too. So it is better not to stretch the things. If you try to stretch, it will turn out to worst.
