What about pride?

It comes to no surprise to anyone who knows me that I lack the appropriate grammar to help make what I’m actually saying comprehensible.

So I’ll try to lessen the “grammatical” errors and make my very first post easier to understand (soon you’ll notice my writing will deteriorate into a 5th grader essay, I’m just warning you from now!)

I’ve realized recently through a close friends experience that ones own pride could eat you up and kill you slowly. Pride is a clearly a sin so evil it can divide a nation if it must.

I don’t understand why people especially in this region view pride of more of an importance than being humble. They would rather let themselves break down, get hurt instead of risking their pride. I do understand that every circumstance is different than the other but why do people find it absolutely impossible to come down off their high chair and say their sorry and try to work things out, Wouldn’t it have been better if they resolved the problem rather than build up all that anger inside? Another thing that absolutely irritates me is pride of ones ethnic routes or nationality, I joke about it and I’m proud of it but I don’t drive it to the extreme of “you’re either with me or against me”. Ethnocentrism is so apparent in many different way I sometimes ask myself how does someone who calls themselves educated be part of this beliefs, even before the word “ethnocentrism” was coined the prophet Mohamed PBUH said there was no difference between us then why do believers follow some of the beliefs not all, ( I do understand were all humans and we bound to make mistakes , I am one not here to judge) It irritates me to the core.

I just wish people were more humble and realize that you don’t know how long we all will live, you could die tomorrow and then all this resentment and anger that you hurt yourself on earth isn’t going to help you in the after life.

So be humble, it’s the best trait anyone could ever have.
