Pride

Alright, alright, I know. Pride is a Deadly Sin. Overlook that for two seconds (Or however long it takes you to read this post) and look at it through my eyes.

 

I want to take pride in who I am. Not physicly, but spiritually. I want to let the world know that i'm proud of what I am and what I believe in. And I am! But the thing is, alot of people disagree with what I believe in. And for that, i'm scared I might be made fun of, or even hurt! I prefer not to disclose what it is I believe in, simply because of the nature of this place. However if you REALLY want to I might tell you one on one in a private email. And even that proves that i'm scared. Does being scared means that i'm not proud...?

Pride's not usually the first thing that's expressed by a healthy spirituality. A healthy spirituality more typically gives one the kind of assurances one needs to not be greatly bothered by the disagreement, ridicule or disdain of others. The impulse is simply to cherish others regardless.
