"it is supremely difficult to see ourselves as we really are. The mind shies away from its own insignificance as strenuously as from the prospect of its own extinction. It takes a kind of wilful, unnatural act, a leap of anti-faith, to understand that one’s own self is a raw, quivering, insecure, fearful and puny thing. The inner giant is really a trembling dwarf – and a half-crazed, neurotic, greedy, enraged, deformed dwarf at that"

يكلك كل القبائل الصومالية تُرجِع نسبها لعقيل بن أبي طالب

Bot:
وَإِن طَرِبَ الرِجالُ بِشُربِ خَمرٍ
وَغَيَّبَ رُشدَهُم خَمرُ الدِنانِ
فَرُشدي لا يُغَيِّبُهُ مُدامٌ
وَلا أُصغي لِقَهقَهَةِ القَناني

- عنترة بن شداد

الله يثخن لبنكم.

اطلبوا الحاجات بعزة الأنفُس .. فإنَّ قضاءها بيد الله

علي بن أبي طالب

I remember having such conversation with a friend. We both noticed that a lot of prayers are basically begging and often involve belittling oneself.

مثلًا دعاء الصباح أو كميل، لغتهن وطريقتهن بمخاطبة الذات الإلهية تختلف بشكل جبير عن دعاء ثاني مثل أبو حمزة الثمالي
The former have a softer, wiser, and less slave-ish tone. While the latter sounds more like currying a favor from an angry tyrant.
