Musings

Pride is a funny thing. We grow up hearing people tell us that we should be proud of ourselves for the things that we do and for what we achieve. However, pride isn't always about the good things...it definitely can have a negative connotation. You can have too much pride, where you indulge yourself, despite the feelings of others. And, really, who wants to be on the receiving end of that? Not me...I've been there and it doesn't feel good.

That's where humility should come in...that is, admitting to your arrogant pride...no excuses. Because, what are you covering up with that false pride? The truth. You're too afraid to let the truth be known, so arrogant pride is a much easier way to go. But, in the end, not only are you hurting someone else...you're also hurting yourself.

They say "Ignorance is bliss"...but is it really??
