Bringing Heaven down to Earth
Brilliant! People are so full of themselves! Self-absorbed. But Hashem promises to lower the haughty and lift the lowly. Omayn.

Personally I think this is a little insinsative as what if the person really does get's steped on and they need to realize they need to be more assertive or something?

What do you want them to be nothing? Oh wait that's the goal right? Yet, how can one person who is created in G-d's image be 'nothing'? it's an utter impossiability and seeks to make G-d 'nothing'?

May Hashem fill both spaces. He is Judge of all. Blessed be His name for ever and ever!!!
