False Humility vs False Pride
I once heard a Talk-Show Radio shrink say
that there are two distinct types of people who don’t respond very well to
treatment. One type wants to be fixed and will surrender all pride to make you
fix them. This type will do nothing for them selves and are usually resentful if
the therapist doesn’t rush in all Florence
Nightingale with all the right bandages. The other types are the prideful ones
who resist all attempts to break through their defenses. The overly prideful refuse
all help and already have all the answers. I take this to mean that I am better
off being willing to take the necessary action to help myself but remaining
open-minded to the help of others. Whatever the case, the healing comes from
inside. This balance arises from the active seeking of an inner-resource, above
and beyond all human power. False humility, in this case, is as obstructive as false pride and we all have heard where false pride takes us.
