Summary

This quote reflects the idea that we often underestimate and undervalue ourselves, which can be regarded as the cruelest weakness we possess. Instead of appreciating our existence and recognizing our worth, we tend to belittle and dismiss our abilities and accomplishments. This self-inflicted negativity can hinder personal growth and limit our potential. It suggests that acknowledging and embracing our own value is essential for developing a positive sense of self and leading a fulfilling life.
