"The Swelling of Pride"

0.0 x 0.0

Pride is seen as a good thing in our culture. After all, doesn't it feel great? Wouldn't you want it to last forever? But it doesn't last, it's a bloom of the ego, a temporary elevation of oneself that separates and sets us apart. Sadly, it lays the foundation for a deeper separation to follow. In school I got awards for academics that made me glow in the eyes of my parents. That glow lasted until my sister outdid me in another arena or a friend hurled and insult. Pride is a fragile balloon for me.
