Meshuga. Even being Meshuga can be a Ma'ala! Not only was Dovid given a Chinuch by Hashem that Kavod can destroy, but also that Bizyonos can be a big Ma'ala.
And the famous story where Dovid danced before the Aron HaKodesh and it was inappropriate to his wife, Michal. Dovid was upset with her criticism, and because of this, she was never Zoche to bear children from him! The Malbim explains how a true M'chubad gives himself Kavod and isn’t: תָלוּי at the mercy of people; he’s busy giving Kavod Shamayim. Independence is true Malchus! Like oil (which he is anointed with) is a “higher” and independent liquid.
R’ Chaim Mordechai Wainkrantz Zatzal pointed out that Vashti lost her life because she was embarrassed to show herself at the party. If she would have consented to the Bizyonos that Achashverosh would give her, it would have saved her life. Look how Haman builds an: עֵץ (gallows) in order to hang Mordechai, because of the Bizyonos that Mordechai gave him by not bowing down. This love for Kavod and hate for Bizayon would soon hang Haman.
And how Esther and Mordechai didn’t care about Kavod. They gave away their Kavod to save Klal Yisroel, and look how great they became! Bizyonos is the most underrated "מֵּת מִׁצְּוָּה " (Mitzva that everyone neglects) that is unappreciated, and it can give a person true greatness!
