Pride

It is said that pride was the first sin, and therefore is the worst. I guess that I agree with that. After all, we humans are imperfect creatures: we lie, cheat, betray, kill, and so many other things. The list goes on and on. No one in the entire history of human existence had any right to be haughty because everyone has sinned.

The only way that we can be proud is by being perfect, but a perfect person wouldn’t be conceited anyway because arrogance is a fault in their character. The perfect person wouldn’t be flawless, and that doesn’t make any sense at all.

When a person looks at it from Gods point of view smugness is even more ridiculous. To him, I’m sure; it would be silly to be so proud of ourselves. After all, we have minds that forget, beauty that fades with age, nothing lasts with us.

So, we should be thankful for the gifts that God has given us but not be filled with false pride.
