I believe that pride is proportional to talent. Just as great talent is often unpretentious while minor talent is flashy but shallow, true greatness is characterized by humility and peace; only those with limited ability exhibit an insufferable arrogance. Those with a profound sense of superiority inevitably possess the magnanimity to embrace all things and treat all beings with kindness.

Civilization affects people at different psychological levels. Reaching the level of consciousness is a matter of knowledge, while reaching the unconscious level is a matter of upbringing.

Two types of people are least likely to fall into trivial troubles and most able to disregard external gains and losses: the confident and the world-weary. They represent two extremes: the former knows their own value, while the latter knows the worthlessness of the world.

The arrogant often possess some talent but lack wisdom, failing to accurately measure their own abilities due to ignorance. This is a common flaw among the young, which experience often cures.

The haughty, however, are mostly talentless individuals who are not only ignorant but also rude and unrefined. This is almost a personality defect that is extremely difficult to correct.

Very few people truly believe in themselves. For some, confidence is merely a "beneficial blindness"—a subconscious way to avoid facing their inner emptiness and maintain a false sense of fulfillment. A truly confident person is one who has the courage to face themselves.
