Pride. I hate that word.
1. a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.
2. the state or feeling of being proud.
3. a becoming or dignified sense of what is due to oneself or one's position or character; self-respect; self-esteem.
4. pleasure or satisfaction taken in something done by or belonging to oneself or believed to reflect credit upon oneself: civic pride.
5. something that causes a person or persons to be proud: His art collection was the pride of the family.
Humans are so full at pride that sometimes it could be because of it the world isn't gonna be at peace again. "That guy's got a damn big dick ego" an American saying about a guy with alot of pride. Is it wrong to just put aside our pride and be level with everyone? Is it a bad thing to be level with everyone? Why must we always be higher than the average Joe? To be seen? To be known? The attention? To know that we are higher - say have bigger dicks - than others?
Lets just put all of these nonsense aside. Lets all just sit together, same level, heart to heart, hand in hand. No one's gonna laugh at anyone. No one's gonna look down to anyone. Everyone's equal. We're all born naked and without a clue what is life.
All with the same 7 sins in us. Whether we are strong enough to resist rather than succumb to the sins, is all up to us. We make the choices. So why don't we human can't choose wisely sometimes? Confusion? Influential? False realisation? We can never know.
Someone asked me
"Everyone's got the common sense to tell what's wrong and what's right."
I replied, "Right or wrong depends on the individual's point of view, his or her concept of what is right and wrong."
He argued, "Killing is wrong to most people, therefore its a wrong thing."
I replied, "But there are still people who see it as a right thing?"
There is no right or wrong in this world. There can never be equality amongst all. But can we not try to achieve something that is near to that? Are we civilised enough to achieve that? That achievement isn't in sight anytime soon. Come on. Let us admit it. We're all still primitive.
