Who asks timidly, asks falsely, for timidity is fear, and therefore lies. It is customary to refuse liars. A lie means that there is no love and, therefore, there is no need.
Truth is like light. Light can be restrained, but not modest. The light captures all the darkness that it can reach. Modesty is a trait of impotent darkness. The humble truth is a lie.
Modesty is different. In that modesty, which is from fear, there are devils there. Where there is fear, there is falsehood and weakness, anger and contempt, vanity and pride.
Bragging about your plans is a good way to strengthen your plans when you suspect yourself of being weak in spirit. Now that everyone knows about your plans, it would be a shame not to fulfill them.
Bragging is a challenge, it's aggression. Bragging is courage. Some boast admires, others attack him, wanting to check whether it is. Both of these options are useful for a braggart, unless he is a coward. Cowards brag about, as a consequence of the boasting is always degrees of problems.
