in many challenges: personal and professional

基礎受動態

we are held back by the crippling thought

様態の副詞

that people like us could not possibly triumph

how reliably: stupid, anxious, gauche, crude, vulgar and dull

we live the possibility of succes, to others

to be anything like the sort of people we see lauded around us

faced with responsibility or prestige, we quickly become convinced

wearing a uniform, and making sunny cabin announcements

while utterly incapable, of even starting the engines

is a hugely unhelpful picture of what other people are really like

we feel like impostors, not because we are uniquely flawed

but because we fail to imagine how deeply flawed

beneath the more or less, polished surface.

the impostor syndrome has its roots far back in childhood

specifically, in the powerful sense children have that their parents, are really very different from them

to a four year old, it's incomprehensible that their mother was once their age

and unable to drive a car, tell the plumber what to do

decide other people's bedtimes and go on planes with colleagues

the gulf in status appears absolute and unbreachable

who like to sit at a table, talking for hours

and drink beer, which tastes of rusty metal

we start out in life with a very strong impression

that other people, especially competent and admirable other people

dovetails with a basic feature of the human condition:

so we're constantly aware of all our anxieties, doubts and idiocies

which is a far narrower and more edited source of information.

that we are isolated at the more freakish and revolting end of human nature

that others are, of course, every bit as disturbed as we are

that troubles or racks another, outwardly very impressive person

we can be sure that it will be something.

We might not know exactly what they regret

but there will be agonizing feelings of some kind

what kind of unusual, sexual kink obsesses them?

and we can know this because vulnerabilities and compulsions

cannot be curses that have just ascended upon us uniquely

they are universal features of human mental equipment

in basically much the same way as ours do

everyone must be as anxious, uncertain and wayward as we are

it's a leap of faith because we just have to accept

that the majority of what we feel and are

especially the more shameful, unmentionable sides

will have a corollary in each and every one of us

one of the tasks that works of art should ideally accomplish

is to take us more reliably into the minds of people we're intimidated by

in order to show us the more average, muddled and fretful experiences that they have

that way, we would be helped to understand

that we're not barred by our vulnerabilities from doing what they do

when he playfully informed his readers in plain French that

"kings and philosophers shit and so do ladies!"

Montaigne's point is that for all the evidence that exists about this shitting

we might not guess that these people ever had to squat on a toilet

we never see distinguished types doing this

while of course we are immensely well informed

that because we have crude and sometimes rather desperate bowels

we can't be philosophers, kings or ladies

and that if we set ourselves up in these roles

must of course excrete in exactly the same way we do

we're invited to take on a saner sense of what

grand, powerful and beautiful people are really like

but the real target isn't just an under confidence about bodily functions

this point extends into the psychological arena too

Montaigne might also have said that kings, philosophers and ladies

are wracked by self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy
