A person who is loyal, honest, etc has
no occasion to feel that he is any way
superior to someone who has no regard
for such things?
A person who is loyal and honest, etc., if they are motivated by the goal of being seen and recognized by others, will of course be critical of others because the whole deal is an ego project. Building up and protecting our egos is what leads to judging others to make ourselves feel acceptable to ourselves, which of course is just a lie we like to believe is the case.
To be loyal, honest, etc., as a byproduct of being a genuine human being who wishes to act with respect and regards towards others, actions which are not motivated by those ego concerns, will not judge others, but simply recognize in others what he or she has already recognized in themselves, but now no longer feel motivated by those. If we can see others shortcomings within ourselves, and accept those in ourselves, understand those in ourselves, and not be a critical self-judge for those, then we won't do it when we see it in others.
It's when we point out faults in others, when we condemn them or put them down, we are doing so because we don't accept ourselves, and are denying it it, not owning it. Once we own our own crap, there is no longer any need to feel superior as a compensatory response to self-rejection. Genuine self-acceptance leads to humility. "I am not superior. Why should I judge another?", is genuine humility. Humility doesn't mean you are inferior. It means you accept you're the same as everyone else, with your own cart of flaws you pull around with you all day, just as they do theirs.
