Justification from Man

Boasting is one of the most obnoxious things that happens in conversations. We all hate it when others do it and we all do it ourselves. We laud ourselves over others thinking that we can prop ourselves up enough to the point where we feel that we matter, but everyone else's boasting stands in opposition to our own and to us. Their boasting reminds us of the failures of our own boasts and our own identities. But what if we were to boast in someone other than ourselves-someone who could live up to our boasting? What if our boast didn't destroy us, but actually gave us life?
