this sense of inflated self-importance

A tribe is a group of people of common characteristics and sense of belonging. A tribe recounts its own history. If histories of all other tribes are regarded as of no account, as simply precursors to, or inferior to, then a tribe is racist. The tribe believes it belongs to the only history that matters. Yet the tribe has proven itself inferior in that it does not regard metahistory. Its vision is not large enough to view the whole. Its view is through a knot hole (a not whole). 
A balloon inflated enough always bursts.
What is the answer? "Honor your father and mother" but also honor all your kin, all your relations. And ALL EXISTING IN THE COSMOS is your kin. Big tribe, Bubbas and Bubbettes!
