Classic case: A blank paper, save for a black dot right in the middle. Present it to someone, ask for his/her observation, and in nine cases out of ten, the person will be more inclined to state the black dot.

Conclusion: Human mind is more perceptible to defects, that the good qualities are usually negated.

Makes sense. It reflects the current reality.

But while we are prone to anger only too easily, perhaps it is not that bad that God has crafted us in such a way.
We should be well aware of our shortcomings, accept them, and work on eradicating it. We are rarely concerned with our own problematic conscience or habits, but oh! We jump at the immediate moment someone else errs. Is it a way to convince ourselves that we are better than the said person?

What is it with trying to emerge the champion in anything we do, anyway? It is only a clear manifestation of the vanity within us.

God created us with differences. What we have, perhaps others lack, and vice versa. In the end, this business of trying to outdo people seems pointless and a mere stress-inducer.

But competitions are not all bad. By no means. It serves as a catalyst for us to improve ourselves, by being more aware of our errors in the past, and strive further to achieve something greater. It is only when one plays dirty that he has succumbed to the evils of competition, and the evils of his own soul, by following his desire.

But back to our own defects.

Life is a journey of self-discovery. We live to learn. We find out things that, perhaps, has never occurred to us before in the past as time goes by. And yes, life gets tougher, so it doesn't help in the least if we are static in that we remain too unaffected by the waves of change around us. It is okay if you find something has changed drastically in the span of merely a day or two.

Adapt to change. Resisting it is only suicidal.
