Yeah, I suppose I should elaborate on that. It's not lack of will or resolve, or not feeling good about one's self. It is possible to have excellent self-esteem and not be prideful.
Kind of on a tangent, maybe, but one of my favorite movies is Contact. Faith and science aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, that great things require a lot of both.
Then at the end of the movie just before the credits roll, the words "For Carl" appear on the screen, and I always get just a bit misty.
