By taking pride in some higher standard for acceptability to which they presume to conform; or appear to conform to. By working harder day by day. By serving others more day by day. Buy attaching themselves to some other person whom they regard as a source of affirmation, acceptability, or security. By carefully avoiding association with other persons whom they regard as being unacceptable, imperfect, defective, degenerate, evil; or just not respectable enough. By constantly being on the defensive psychologically and/or technologically. By adopting an attitude of indifference towards whatever there is of value to them, which they might lose through insecurity. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
