We've all done actions in our lives where we compromise what we believe in. And if we keep doing it, there's no way back, no pride to hold on to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Doing something the right way is something I take pride in.
I believe that we must maintain pride in the knowledge that the actions we take, based on our own decisions and choices as individuals, link directly to the magnificent challenge of transforming human history.
Pride is a thing that I have tried to abandon completely. Try as I might, pride still creeps into many of the things I do.
Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God's.
I have come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it's good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.
The proud do not change to improve, but defend their position by rationalizing. Repentance means change, and it takes a humble person to change.
Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.
At some point, the pride has to be a part of the whole day-to-day oeuvre. It's part of who you are and doesn't need to be discussed anymore.
I've never been one to just do what I'm told. I don't say that necessarily with pride, it's just something that has gotten me in trouble before.
We take pride in what we do.
