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.

A fifth grader looked down, so her teacher asked, "What's the problem,
Carol? I hope it's not homework again."
"Well, uh, yes it is," replied Carol. "I made my homework paper into a paper
airplane."
"Carol, that wasn't a very bright thing to do," said the teacher, "but this
once, I'll let you just unfold the paper and hand it in."

"Oh, but that won't work," said Carol, looking even sadder. "You see, the
plane was hijacked."
