Superior (Wise) Human or Inferior (Unwise) Human!
From my perspective, (perhaps) humans can be divided into two main categories:
To put it very briefly, an inferior human is someone who believes they have found the truth. It doesn’t matter in which field—programming, theology, religious studies, biology, or any other domain—once you consider yourself the holder of truth, you become an inferior human.
The moment you think you have found the truth and the right path, you turn into a being that fights against or opposes anything that threatens your beliefs.
However, the superior human seeks the truth. They do not see themselves as the possessor of truth, nor the owner of anyone or anything. In short, the superior human seeks mysteries rather than claiming to hold them. They do not oppose or wage war against what their mind rejects because they believe love is the solution to their problems, and they replace ugliness with wisdom and logic.
The primary sign of a superior human is that they sleep peacefully at night! They do not battle anyone; they love instead. They do not feel entitled to anything from others because they do not see themselves as the heir or owner of anything. They are almost always happy (a sign of wisdom). Even when they experience suffering, it does not break them because they see suffering as a bridge to peace. For them, pain is temporary because they do not dwell on it or fuel its expansion with overthinking.
A wise human first critiques themselves before criticizing others and strives to play their own unique melody in the world.
Since this is my reasoning and belief, I try to live like a superior human. This is what I seek.

I love the contrast you’ve drawn between seeking truth and claiming to own it. True wisdom is in continuous exploration, not in rigid certainty. If more people embraced this mindset, the world would be a much more understanding and peaceful place!
