Humility is the opponent to pride, and pride serves no useful purpose at all. Having an inner cheerleader to counteract an inner critic is two wrongs trying to make a right. Far better to have no opinion at all and reject all opinions you harbor about yourself. Good or bad, it's all an illusion you make up in your own mind. The bad opinions drag you down, and the good opinions artificially prop you up. Both are disturbing to peace of mind.
