Genuine self-worth derives not from applause but sacred wholeness within. It springs from joy in being rather than showy surface. From this grounded reservoir, purpose flows steadier than fleeting pride.
Yet suppressing all pride breeds resignation to injustice. Constructive pride uplifts human dignity while avoiding superiority delusions. No person is inferior, though false privilege will be dismantled with compassion.
By loving ourselves for intrinsic belonging to life, status chasers relax fixated grasping. Pride no longer consumes those accepting their enoughness. For inner light illuminates brighter than any exterior acclaim.
