These involuntary tears over that grade on that paper?
These involuntary tears over that grade on that paper? They're teaching you a valuable lesson: don't trust yourself. Your soul is fickle. It's not trustworthy. If you want to change so you can live by what is good and right, view yourself as living under God's watchful eye. And take care that you don't fall back into chasing after that which isn't worthy of your pursuit.
— from The Air Traffic Controller (God) · G-d
In the book
The cure for the arrogance is a strange-sounding humility our tradition actually teaches — that in the things that matter most, you must not fully trust yourself. Your own soul is fickle; the involuntary surge of pride over a win, the disproportionate tears over a small loss, are quietly teaching you that your private judgment is not the highest authority in your sky. There is Someone above the cockpit. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
