Self-praise is enough sometimes. You don't need everyone to praise you or be promised a huge reward.
You were honest to yourself and you defeated a delusion from your perspective. You don't need over exaggerated praise for your stance over an issue neither do you need outside praise.
It is what it is, everyone has their own intention.
I myself believe in a higher power/creator (not a god though) through indirect proofs, and if it's a delusion with no basis, I want to defeat that delusion. If it's based on truth, I want to attain certainty in it.
