Pride (And fatness)
I am not a church-goer. I am not really that in touch with the spiritual world. But, i do tend to agree with many of the values that religous groups support. One is the idea of too much pride being bad. I just was reading what my SA pal had written about his students bragging about various acts of indescretion that might just be considered a Class C felony back in the lower 48. Anywho, the point that entered my mind is how many situations pride causes one trouble. So let's take a closer nonpartisian look at the negatives of prideful excesses.
1. Boasting about skills you don't have. We are all guilty of this, it is called "dating."
2. Pride in relation to doing harm to others. Such as: "Wow, I just scammed a bunch of senior citizens by crafting their dentures out of recycled asbestos!"
3. Pride in being a lazy nothing
4. Pride relating to obsesity. See these "Fat and Proud" links...
