None of us are immune to the all-too-human
traits of pride or ego, but true arrogance really comes from insecurity. Needing to feel that we are bigger than
others comes from a nagging fear that we are smaller. Whenever the Dalai Lama senses this danger,
he looks at a bug or some other creature and reminds himself that, in some
ways, this creature is better than we are, because it is innocent and free of
malice.
