The word 'PRIDE' with its 'I' being in the middle already explains the word itself.
Sometimes I wonder why some ppl just can't be humble. Is it due to their extraordinary wealth? Higher intelligence? Better appearance? It's really infuriating to see ppl who are so bloated and self-conceited. Whatever is on their minds is just "I, me, myself", there is hardly any or even not any room for the thoughts of others. I am not saying that being rich, smart or good-looking is bad, but if anyone possess any of the following then he should just be thankful, thank God and lead a humble life. There is no need for bragging nor demoralising those who are weaker. Everyone has their own strengths.
Though personally I really detest ppl who are proud and arrogant, the Bible thought us to be loving and forgiving. I have to love. Even to love my enemies. Thus, even there are times that it's hard for me to forgive and love someone that I don't really quite like, I'll pray and ask the Lord to help me. Only by us not holding onto our grudges will we then be truly happy in our lives. Furthermore, we have to pray for the ppl whom we think are proud so that they can be modest enough for ppl to like them straight away without any hesitations. For all of us, we have to remember this very important verse- Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
Let's be humble towards everyone! Spread the humility! =)
