They are Important BUT so are You

Ever thought about how in a filled room, we automatically tend to see ourselves as the submissive figure. During an interview, by impulse, we believe the opposite person is the only person important among the two and we voluntarily and without any doubt hand over to them, the joystick to control us. We accept being docile and let them question, belittle, and doubt ourselves.
Majority of the times we care too much about what someone, equally lacking as us, has to say and think we are second-class and least important because of trivial variables such as age, command over language, grammatical correctness, and as silly and foolish as accents, gender, and skin color or even eye color. Though it sounds idiotic, I do not think anyone would debate to disagree.
We have trained our minds in such a way that we constantly undermine and underestimate ourselves and that is not even the worst part, we invariably overestimate everyone else. We refuse to believe that we are as important and worthy as the next person. We would rather choose to be inferior than to be the superior. We whole-heartedly accept being the pushovers. This is the reason why the world is not a better place or close to as one envisions it to be because hardly anyone is working towards making the changes they want to see, but instead working their necks off and prioritizing to make the changes the more “important” person manifests.
In a group of 4 friends, each one of them is good at something and unique in their own ways that the others are deficient in but who is to decide who is important. There can be no hierarchy.
One has to recognize the shortcomings of others, and most importantly one has to recognize the achievements of oneself. They are important but so are you!
