How dangerous is the feeling that we are the only ones worshiping God, or the only ones with principles!
There are those who judge the whole generation and judge all people as being lost and corrupted! They forget that there are those who are chosen by God, whom they might not know, but God knows them.
…
The one who has love rejoices at having many like him or even better than him. As for the self-conceited, this matter troubles him, or at least does not cheer him! He thinks it is a challenge to him. He does not even care about God, but about himself.
—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, WORDS OF SPIRITUAL BENEFIT VOL. II
