Great response to guest, Fred. Nothing is more prideful than someone who takes pride in not being prideful. People who don't think they're any good don't end up doing a whole lot of good. I think the operative guideline is to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. That means that we have to start with ourselves.

Maybe I could get a job in a fortune cookie factory?

It's good to see people taking satisfaction, and even pride that they have been able to help someone else. As long as the motivating power is love, satisfaction is fine. One is the motive, the other is the after-effect.
