Have you noticed that even people who feel lousy about themselves are judgmental toward others? When you feel inferior to others, you don’t respect them or treat them with mercy. Instead, you envy, hate, grumble, and criticize. Even self-belittling tendencies – “low self-esteem,” self-pity, self-hatred, timidity, fears of failure and rejection – fundamentally express pride failing, pride intimidated, and pride despairing. Such pride, even when much battered, still finds someone else to look down on.

PROGRESS OF WOMEN'S LIB

Barbara Walters had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years
before the Gulf War, and she noted then that women customarily walked
about 10 feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kuwait recently and
observed that the men now walked several yards behind their wives.

Ms Walters approached one of the women for an explanation. "This is
marvelous," she said. "What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of
roles?"

The Kuwaiti woman replied: "Land mines."
