Summary

This quote by C.S. Lewis suggests that pride blinds individuals from recognizing the value and greatness in others. When someone feels superior and constantly looks down upon people and things, they are unable to see any qualities or virtues that may be present above them. By being consumed by pride, people limit their understanding and fail to acknowledge the potential and worth that may exist beyond their own perspective. Therefore, the quote implies that humility and a willingness to look beyond oneself are essential to truly appreciate and recognize the goodness in others.
