Reply To: Judaism is not a religion of superiority

The Gemara you are referring to suggests that we have to have 20% pride in our accomplishments. The other 80% acknowledges that everything we have is from Hashem and that is why we praise and bless G-d all day.

We also have to acknowledge that our individual assets such as beauty, wealth or wisdom can also be a tikkun for reasons unknown to us.

In other words, with those who scoff at or scorn our beliefs and who attempt to bring us down from our level of belief we have to be extra vigilant, but with those on their way up but not quite there yet we should be completely tolerant.
