There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. I have heard people admit that they are bad-tempered, or that they cannot keep their heads about girls or drink, or even that they are cowards. I do not think I have ever heard anyone who was not a Christian accuse himself of this vice. And at the same time I have very seldom met anyone, who was not a Christian, who showed the slightest mercy to it in others. There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others.</p> <p>The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility. You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now, we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.</p> <p>Does this seem to you exaggerated? If so, think it over. I pointed out a moment ago that the more pride one had, the more one disliked pride in others. In fact, if you want to find out how proud you are the easiest way is to ask yourself, ‘How much do I dislike it when other people snub me, or refuse to take any notice of me, or shove their oar in, or patronise me, or show off?’ The point is that each person’s pride is in competition with every one else’s pride. It is because I wanted to be the big noise at the party that I am so annoyed at someone else being the big noise. Two of a trade never agree. Now what you want to get clear is that Pride is essentially competitive - is competitive by its very nature - while the other vices are competitive only, so to speak, by accident. Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others. If everyone else became equally rich, or clever, or good-looking there would be nothing to be proud about. It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition has gone, pride has gone. That is why I say that Pride is essentially competitive in a way the other vices are not. The sexual impulse may drive two men into competition if they both want the same girl. But that is only by accident; they might just as likely have wanted two different girls. But a proud man will take your girl from you, not because he wants her, but just to prove to himself that he is a better man than you. Greed may drive men into competition if there is not enough to go round; but the proud man, even when he has got more than he can possibly want, will try to get still more just to assert his power. Nearly all those evils in the world which people put down to greed or selfishness are really far more the result of Pride.</p>http://andyhorst.com/post/16913674269http://andyhorst.com/post/16913674269Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:38:56 -0800<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyq5mxMOjh1qzvrpoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#ClassicAlbums (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://andyhorst.com/post/16869433577http://andyhorst.com/post/16869433577Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:23:21 -0800classicalbums<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyonlyVpqW1qzvrpoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m proud (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://andyhorst.com/post/16836339786http://andyhorst.com/post/16836339786Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:56:22 -0800<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lylqb8G1sw1qzvrpoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side.
