{"text":"The emphasis and the reason for a pure humility is to result in love for others; not always necessarily the belittlement of self. When there is pride and self-righteousness and being pretentiously too far above, generally, one has a difficult time reaching the compassionate side of love for others, the side that understands (or at least attempts to understand): 'I am aware that I am not so far from falling in the same way.' Humility seeks to understand, and sometimes even relate; and in result, the love lovingly, properly, effectively wills the removal of the destructive sins of another as from oneself.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["caring","caring-for-others","compassion","constructive-criticism","discernment","humility","hypocrisy","judgmental","love","pride","purity","self-destruction","self-righteousness","sin"],"id":5566,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"}
