Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #38474 Sir John
Instructions
Sir    John    did    not    seek    to    belittle    and    undermine    for    the    sake    of    it.    It    was    easy    to    mock    -  ,  it    was    the    instinctive    reaction    of    any    thinking    being    to    the    modem    world    -    but    great    harm    could    be    caused    by    thoughtless    mockery.    His    intention    was    merely    to    instil    a    little    humility.    He    was    fighting    a    battle,    he    knew.    His    colleagues    -    the    psychiatric,    the    teaching    and    the    social    work    professions    -    were    all    doing    their    to    raise    people's    self-esteem.    It    was    their    basic    credo;    everybody    was    by    low    self-esteem.    For    Sir    John,    on    the    other    hand,    the    self-esteem    of    most    of    the    men    and    women    he    came    across    was    far    too    high    for    their    own    or    anybody    else's,    already.    The    job    of    the    professors    was    not    so    much    to    promote    the    uncontrolled    expansion    of    self-esteem    to    forcibly    ram    it    back    into    the    Pandora's    box    from    which    it    should    never    have    been    liberated,    and    then    sit    upon    the    lid.
