Biologically we are hard wired to attack only the weaker object and avoid the stronger one perceived by us. The object could be a enemy or a complicated subject like mathematics or programming.
Stress is fear actually.
When we perceive the other object as easy or weaker or stupider, we no longer feel fear to do work.
That is why arrogance is needed. All the seven sins are needed. If we destroy arrogance and embrace too much humility, then confidence the brother of arrogance will likely be destroyed together. We need both humility and arrogance.
Arrogance is a force that allows us to do difficult task and kill the enemy. What I did wrong was I renounced arrogance because I saw its problems. However this brought me timidity and fear and laziness.
I also believed in the idealistic concept that everyone is equal as evocated in self help and new age. This brought me distruction of my weapons to fight in the real world.
Never reject the black side in the ying yang simbol. All opposite must be balance.
Pretend the difficult task is easy. Pretend the enemy is stupiter and can be ignored. Likely the task is easy. Likely the enemy is dumber.
Pretend is a form of bluff. You try to bluff the universe and win.
"If he can do it, why cant you do it?"
