The True Self-Esteem Person Recognizes His Own and Other People’s Gadlus

Then we have Avraham Avinu giving Tochacha to a powerful king without Hispa'alus. The true self-esteem person can be extreme in recognizing his and other people’s Gadlus, and he is also tough and unafraid of even the mightiest. His energy spills over to those around him, as it says by Avraham: וַיָרֶ קְאֶ תְחֲ נִ יכָיו He galvanized his disciples.

And do you know why Avraham Avinu went all out for the wicked Anshei Sedom? He was fighting for the honor of a Tzelem Elokim, which the Mitzva of Bris Mila had taught him!
