...That's the voice of wisdom--quietly ignoring the importance we attach to our little selves. Once for all, let us turn our backs on our niggling self-scrutiny. Let us look at God, at Christ. That will bring us to a state of mind more humbling, more really contrite than any penitence based only in introspection.
