the fall

"i simply felt released in my relations with everyone else for the excellent reason that i recognised no equals. i always considered myself more intelligent than anyone else, as i've told you, but also more sensitive and more skillful.... i found nothing but superiorities in myself and this explained my goodwill and serenity. when i was concerned with others, it was out of pure condescension, in utter freedom, and all the credit went to me: my self-esteem would go up a degree"
