her friends or relatives, she touches on nothing but the ugly things, the coarse habits, and the points of weakness in them. Her talk is nothing but biting criticism and unjust orders and counsels, as she does her utmost to appear in the guise of superiority.
If we try to think a little, we see many of our women and our men living, like "Jumana" and "Randa," in their destructive imaginary world, trying to satisfy their desires without thought or reason.
And if we stop to analyze the causes of Jumana's or Randa's behavior, and ask what motive it is that drives a Jumana or a Randa to deck herself in these appearances, we say that among the chief causes is the feeling of inferiority that may lie in the depths of her soul: she tries to achieve in imagination what reality has denied her, in order to cover over this deficiency. As Adler the psychologist has said, the feeling of inferiority is among the most potent factors that drive a person to such behavior. Among the most prominent traits of one afflicted with this disease are the feeling of lack of self-confidence, preoccupation with self, and the feeling of incompetence; and these traits are coupled, too, with the feeling of fear — fear of what others will say. Thereby a person begins to cover over this feeling by comparing himself with others, and by exposing the points of weakness in them so as to conceal them in himself.
Among the chief causes of this feeling of inferiority are those that go back to childhood, and its cause may be either organic or psychological. Organic, for example, as with short stature, homeliness of face, or the presence of bodily defects. Psychologically, the causes go back to the factors of the environment in which the afflicted person has lived — as when a child lives in surroundings lacking love and fatherly tenderness, and so grows up in an atmosphere full of anxiety and of psychological unrest.
Or when parents resort to comparing their children with other people's children and setting one above another so as to show up their shortcomings; or to mocking them with phrases that touch on their weakness, or to stinging
blows; or to giving them no responsibility. Thus the individual grows up lacking confidence in himself and the sense of his own importance, and so resorts to covering over this feeling with unreal things.
