It is not proud. It does not dishonor others,

A fool is one who goes on trusting;
a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience.

and you deceive him again, and he trusts you;
and you deceive him again, and he trusts you.

His trust is tremendous; his trust is
so pure that nobody can corrupt it.

go on dying to the past so you remain in the present here-now,
as if just born, just a babe.
