Wounded Pride and Comraderie

 When one has no further place to ascend and pride had just been an insane wound that you can't actually fix because it gives you shape, the only thing that can cure it is sincere love and acceptance from someone. 


But no one can actively seek to love an insane proud person. It would have to be someone in the same map as the proud insanity to be a trustworthy balancing force. 


And so what I'm suggesting is that codependent rescuing isn't possible to solve that.


when there's suffering there tends to be two dynamics. One side tends to have more self respect and compassion and the other side tends to be proud and insane as a defense against God's judgement and to preserve their own humanity and that type of pride is an act of humility, secretly. That type of pride acknowledges one's personal limitations that can't go any farther and needs love and sincerity to heal that and can't ask for it. 


Good parties and having a good time is the best medicine for this. Because trying to fix insane pride misdiagnoses the problem as ego pride. Ego pride and insane pride aren't the same thing. Ego pride is pride that can move and do what's best for themselves but refuses too. Insane pride is someone who had reached as far as they can go and loved themselves as far as they can and find that self love just isn't enough. 


Ego pride is a problem that only the person suffering it can release themselves from it. 


Insane pride is the opposite. They'd done all they can and only a sincere self respecting form of compassion from another can release that and insane pride is that perfect match for self respect, because losing that pride would have cost them their self respect and is in need of compassion, not judgement.
