"La fierté n'est pas le contraire de la honte mais sa source La véritable humilité est le seul antidote à la honte"

Simplified Meaning:
Pride and shame are deeply connected; they come from the same place inside us. When people feel ashamed, it's often because their pride has been hurt. Imagine a student who fails a test. If they think highly of themselves and believe they are very smart, failing the test can make them feel deeply ashamed because their pride is wounded. On the other hand, someone who practices humility understands that everyone makes mistakes. They don't see the failure as a hit to their self-worth. True humility allows people to accept their flaws without feeling ashamed. It lets them learn and grow without being bogged down by negative feelings. If you approach life with a humble heart, shame will have less power over you.
