Pride is the source of all sins. It appears in the most unsuspecting places. Some are proud of being proud, while others are proud of not being proud. While one is proud of being an atheist, another is proud of their devotion to God. Lots of knowledge can make a person proud, but ignorance can also be a source of pride for someone else. There is no sin or human mistake that can be worse or more harmful.
There are two faces to pride: humility and humiliation. The second, usually comes after you refuse the first.
Humiliation is not a choice, it’s a consequence. It eventually happens to those who are proud, as a result of their own attitudes.
"The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down”, Isaiah 2.11
