Self-righteousness is a loud din raised to drown the voice of guilt within us.--Eric Hoffer
A holier-than-thou attitude within us is often a sign of unconscious dishonesty.
Who hasn't had the feeling of being superior to the angry outburst or the near slip of another person - and then found ourself in the very same spot the next day?
What we least want to admit about ourselves is what we are most likely to feel self-righteous about.
The person we feel most self-righteous toward may be the person we could learn the most from. When we stop focusing on them, we may notice they touch our most sensitive area.
We're all creatures of God and equals in God's sight.

The ways we create inequality are the ways we fall short of God's wisdom.
I will use my self-righteous feelings to point me to my own blind spots.
