WHAT IS PRIDE? pride is the feeling that someone is better
or more important than other people. What a worthless feeling! For pride brings
hatred, creates a mental prison, and brings conflict between family and friends.
Pride is a valueless feeling. Pride makes everybody an enemy, a conspirator, a
competitor.
What makes a human have pride? When one has no control over
his own birth. What could have happen if ones parents had aborted him or her, where
will ones pride be? Nowhere.
Many societies are filled with many people who have pride,
many take pride in looks- I’m so beautiful, I’m so handsom. Many take pride in
their possessions- I have too much money in the bank, I have a big house, big
car. Many take pride in achievements- I’m the bank manager, I’m the head of my
organization. Though, being hansom or beautiful is good (I like good looking
people) why does it bring pride? What happens when old age or an accident takes
away the beauty or handsomeness? What
else will give pride? Same goes for the possessions and achievements, having
things and achieving goals are also good but allowing pride to grow not
controlled because of possessions and accomplishments. Will only lead to the
undoing of any one.
In my quest to conquer to myself, on the battle field of
pride. I fight to free myself from this valueless feeling . Just as ancient
cities had walls that isolated it from the world, and islands are surrounded by
water which protects and isolates it from the outside world, pride is the wall
and water that concretely isolates me from
people. I had so much pride, that it became a veil covering my eyes. For
I knew no one but myself- it was eating my mind, body and spirit.
I now know that being kind, fair and showing dignity to
people cost nothing, and it contributes
to unity and peace between people.
