Self Confidence And Self-Reasons: The Causes Of Man's Wrath

Wrath is defined as a violent, impetuous, angered reaction to a perceived wrongdoing or injustice. Even though both God and mankind express wrath as an extreme of anger, there is a vast difference between the wrath of God and wrath of man. God’s wrath is always righteous and justified; unlike man’s wrath, which is never righteous and hardly justified, due to the fact that man’s wrath often stems from a lack of virtuous compassion, which occurs when a sincerely giving heart produces caring actions. Also including the lack of virtuous self-control, which is one 's willpower to compose his emotions, desires, and behavior are overpowering. The causes of man’s wrath emerge from an exaggerated sense of self-importance that leads to the overwhelming

As researchers demonstrate that self-confidence is a “person who does indeed have considerable abilities and is aware of that fact”, thus this is a firm trust that one can have faith in his abilities (Tiberius 379). While self-importance “consists in having too high [of] an opinion of one 's talents, skills, or accomplishments […] making an unwarranted leap from the fact that one has certain (perhaps considerable) talents and skills to the incorrect conclusion that one is superior” (Tiberius 380). This stems from the belief that one does not only have an inflated belief in one’s abilities, but rather of oneself. Therefore, this leads an individual to only care about oneself thus planning their life where it evolves around himself as his main priority. For people who have lost self-control of their priorities, they plan their life where it evolves around them, leading their perception of themselves to become greater than others. Consequently, this perception makes them not have compassion for anyone but themselves. For an individual who is consumed of arrogance, self-importance is a medication for himself that leads to self-empowerment. When individuals gain

A prime example of this is in the oil industry where the price of oil changes with every up and down of the stock market within the economy (Sanders). Yet greed as a vice is displayed when one 's self-importance becomes uncontrollable, in which he loses compassion for others and just wants to elevate himself by accumulating goods. This is a form of greed that is caused by the habitual desire for wanting more “with them in the hope of fulfilling [one’s] desires” (Whittaker 152). However, this fulfillment should not be confused with happiness, even though one may claim that he is greedy for the desire of a life of happiness. One can fulfill a particular desire that is masked as happiness; however, it is not truly a desire for happiness because “fulfilling the desire to be happy shows that the desire to be happy is a different desire” (Whittaker 153). Therefore, the greed for fulfillment stems from distrust that leads to wanting to hoard possessions for oneself out of fear of either losing it or never having enough. When one’s desire grows into an obsession for power and control it signifies that self-importance has taken control of one’s life thus leading to greed. Though as humans we cannot entirely control of our life, thus God creates occurrences that disrupt our vision and when this happens one becomes wrathful. This wrath is so overwhelming that one develops a
