%PRIDE CONTROL POWER SUPERIOR BETTER GOOD EVIL SIN 990406
Pride in and of itself is not necessarily bad, evil
or sinful. However, pride in the absence of
balancing considerations and/or in the presence of
extremism and/or perversity --- may be a clear sign of
alienation, evil and sin.
Beware of people who are proud because of:
1. Being "better" or more "perfect" than others.
2. Having more power and/or ability to control.
3. Knowing more with greater certainty than others.
4. Having achieved, earned or received "salvation".
5. Having avoided "evil" and "sin".
6. How "good" and "respectable" they are.
7. How well they conform in being "good" people.
8. Eating the fruit of the knowledge of good & evil.
9. How well alienated they are from "evil" people.
10. Avoiding uncertainty, doubt, ambiguity & paradox.
Pride in combination with other "things" and/or in
the absence of other "things" may be a significant warning
sign --- which should be recognized, named, described, and
attended to. However, pride in and of itself is not such
a warning sign.
