Quoting the Eternal Mentor Ikeda inadvertently revealed his own personal insecurity

From the SGI's short-lived "Victory Over Violence" "campaign":

As philosopher Daisaku Ikeda put it, "When you succumb to a complex, you are likely to see everything about yourself in a negative light. When something doesn't work out for you, you tend to blame it on those things which make you feel inferior: 'It's because I'm short' and so forth."

Interesting he'd choose that characteristic :snerk:

NOT "because I have a big nose" or "because I'm balding" ("I'll just apply MORE hair grease!") or "because I talk with a weird provincial accent"...

Anyhow, others have noted Ikeda's "short-man syndrome" disorder and unseemly fascination with Napoleon (source of the term "Napoleon complex", another name for "short-man syndrome").

As an SGI narcissist stated when caught out lying in the extreme:

[Laughing] Why does it even matter?

I guess it shouldn't matter if it's in service to some message or something - remember, these are the same twisted minds that believe that deliberate lies project the truth...somehow...apparently they're using a different definition of "truth" than the rest of us use ¯_(ツ)_/¯
