I was thinking about this the other day. What is worse for a Christian in regards to his Spiritual walk, thinking to poorly of his spirituality, or too highly? Comments?

the real question lies behing that one; would you rather punch a spiritual person or be punched. I choose to do the punching.
I'll punch too, but I think they're equally distructive.
Too highly is worse. Too highly is beyond self-delusion and is genuine plankeyedness (a new word from which I demand all royalties) - i.e. not easily remedied.
Too poorly is just bad self-esteem, which at it's core is self-involved and self-aware, i.e. generally, on some level of conciousness, one knows they're not really THAT awful, even if they lie to themselves to feel justified - i.e. easily (in terms of thought expended) fixed.
Any time there is punching, I am in.
Too highly...
I always though too low of my spiritual walk... now its some where in between.
when I think of what I am doing post graduation instead of climbing on a high horse, I wonder why God would choose me to do it....
Maybe I am becoming prideful right now (please don't punch me).
I think I've had a harder time controlling my temper and not removing someone's nugget since I became a Christian rather than before. But as a military man I like to look at things from my perspective of being someone else's property, so I think what is the worst for someone's spirituality is dwelling on these types of questions. In other words, you might be thinking too much. Do what you're told and you won't fall into either category. My philosophy is obey now and sort it out later. But I never seem to get the time to sort it out.
The way I say it, either way you are focusing on yourself and not really on the relationship. Our "spirtuality" really is nothing more than being in a loving relationship with Christ. If we are focusing only on how we look we will have the wrong motivation for the relationship...and basically fall into ethics rather than love. While I think it is more than just doing as we are told, I do think Highboy has the right idea...in a marriage if both people are focused on making the other happy, you never have to focus on what is going wrong...and if something is going wrong it is likely fixed by getting back to that.
