Pride

 So what is the matter with pride?  Nothing, if it is pride in something that you did.  You are proud of yourself.  It is between you and your project, effort and results.  But there is a pride that is very destructive.  This is where you think you are better than anyone else.  You might in fact be better at a common task, but if it is a pride that measures yourself not against the task but against others, it becomes a slippery slope into judgment of others, and a forgetfulness of your own faults.  A pride that lacks any sense of humility, is one that will lead us off the spiritual path quite quickly.  You might be very good in this, but the this is not the everything.  Only the delusional thinks themself perfect.

  1. I love this and those are wonderful examples to tuck into my "tool box". When I catch myself taking someone else's inventory, I know im headed in the wrong direction. Thanks for all you do and I'm still just so happy you're in Boulder!!❤️
