NOTE

The Power of Humility in Subverting the Objectified Self

Sharing weakness subverts the objectified self, breaking the cycle of maintaining a special image. Humility allows stepping off the treadmill of ego and embracing heavenly virtues for true bliss. Pride leads to fear and misery by holding oneself as special. Objectifying oneself by seeking success and external validation leads to misery. Embracing humility and declaring weakness connect individuals on a mortal level, fostering true strength. Acknowledging one's mortality and vulnerabilities fosters genuine connections. The pursuit of being 'the special one' leads to loneliness and attachment avoidance, inhibiting the capacity for love and connection.
