## Resource

It's very easy to fool yourself into thinking either you're better or worse than you think. That you're more or less intelligent than you really are. It's just simple conditioning. Your opinion and ideas are graded and decided on by some "authority" who might not believe you. Or maybe you were constantly catered to by someone that didn't want to hurt your feelings. Either way, don't continue the path. Question, investigate, and decide independent of others.
