Olga Lehtonen: There's nothing better than to laugh at a proud man. With a proud man can not play it serious games. The only weapon against the devil (which is really no sense of self-irony) - is laughter. This is a joke, irony, satire.
Sergei is perhaps the only category of people to whom spiritually harmful taken seriously - this narcissistic snobs. For them, the laughter of others - drug assistance. Insipid, of course. Medications are not tasty at all. Especially from pride.
Sergei Sabsay: Man, judging others, people who enjoy bullying others - certainly trapped in the devil - only more subtly and quietly laid by. Seriously do you need to treat all people. And do not forget that each of us is constantly i very narcissistic proud man.
Olga Lehtonen: "Judge" - a "pass sentence." And not to judge good and evil. No one can deprive a person of the ability to recognize good and evil. And to fight evil. Including satirical laughter. Especially because it is often laughter is the most efficient way. And not endless, tedious argument. Gordetsov arguments ineffective - it is his native element than the more boring, so he's comfortable. Gordetsov mockery pill will be useful, and humble, it does not hurt.
There is a lovely story about how one saint, who allegedly was the Virgin Mary, just looked at her and then spat. It was the devil in the holy guise. And when Valentine was asked why he did so. Suddenly, it would be quite a Virgin Mary? He replied that this humble Virgin Mary would not have noticed my action. And the devil proud, he can not move this.
Sergei Sabsay: In my humble opinion, we begin to judge at the very moment when we associate a person with one of the sins, and call it a proud man, a liar, a thief, a lecher, etc., putting a stamp, stamp. Without distinguishing sin and the sinner, reducing and equating our brother redeemed on the Cross, to his shortcomings.
Olga Lehtonen: If the man himself is associated with this sin, what can I do? I laugh at his arrogant manners, and he gets hurt. And if he feels pain, then he will have cause to wonder what was wrong with him. And if I'm i wrong and he is a man humble, my laughter it generally does not hurt.
In any case, there is no other way to deal with a proud man, but humiliation. For humble benevolence proud interpreted only as a service to it - perfect. And it is only harm him. And the humble, by the way, too. Because he feeds the Minotaur in his neighbor.
Sergei Sabsay: Humiliation other person never anyone there can be no benefit. But always - to the detriment of his own soul. Especially if you feel pleasure from it. (This does not mean that I myself i free from such stocks.)
Sergei Sabsay: Post as another narcissistic arrogant man, began to treat him getting off this buzz ... Be confident in their assessments and correctness of their actions ... Enjoy ridicule and humiliation of the proud ... Arrogance I can see here. Love - I do not see.
Olga Lehtonen: I'm not saying I'm righteous! And I never said that! But when I click on the nose and I feel like me moving my pride, I have the courage to admit that it is in me. And it moves. I will not be intimidated encounter with reality! That's absolutely right!
