"We human beings have an interesting way of centering our feelings of inadequacy on one idea in particular. We feel inadequate because we are not rich enough, smart enough, handsome enough, successful enough, fat enough, thin enough, or whatever else. We pretend that if we could just overcome that inadequacy we would be secure. That is a fiction. If we overcame it, we would just find something else to feel inadequate about. We clutch these 'sweet sicknesses' to our bosoms as the explanation for all our failures. We hide these secret weaknesses from all the world." -Spong, John Shelby. This Hebrew Lord. P.63
Not a new concept, by any means, but well articulated.
