"When pride cometh, then cometh shame. But to the lowly is wisdom."
I do not nurture pride in my heart. Once I realized that I am at fault, I immediately asks for forgiveness.For I firmly believe that humbleness of heart is wisdom and pride is shame.
What's your take on this? Do share it.
I think it's a profound concept -- "Humility of heart is wisdom." I believe it to be true.

ReplyDeleteIs there a man without pride, at all? lols somebody said that. Forgot his name.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's right. Pride by human nature occurs in a person in varying degrees and for reasons that may be good or bad. Some say that pride can be healthy if it is in honest self-evaluation or acknowledgment of one's abilities or achievements thereby serving to inspire further outstanding performance. When you know you're good, you know you are good even without people having to tell you so. Because you are quite at peace with knowing what you can and can't do. Being quite well grounded and centered with that allows you to say 'thank you' with grace, 'I'm sorry' with sincerity, and simply just be you. "To thine own self be true", as we are so often reminded by our elders.
But on the other hand, if this attitude of pride is taken to extremes, undisciplined and uncontrolled, it can be quite irritating and intolerable to watch. Shameless boasting. It is said to be and I quote "one of man's unflattering 'disfigurement'..". How insecure a person reveals himself to be when he deliberately calls attention to self, blatantly or with subtlety or resort to false humility to please. By this he could simply be hastening his own self-destruction. "Whom the gods wish to destroy... they first make proud."
My first on your blog. Enjoyed the cruise down your page. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. May God bless you and your family.

Hi Dear Shrads,
ReplyDeletegood for you you're done with it, me? oh i made a draft only to find out that after reading yours, seems so far from it.
can't understand what Shift in Time means, but maybe now, after reading yours, i may learn from it, but not do the same exactly...:)
:)
Hi Amity
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments and the many questions raised on my post.Can reply if it is ok with you to give me your ID
You are a steady support and your comments are perceptive
kpartha12@gmail.com
... thank you. it so happens that your stories are interesting...:)
ReplyDeletehave a nice day!
:)
That is a beautiful thought. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think pride is the opposite of shame.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with taking pride in ones accomplishments, as long as the accomplishments are not about hurting someone else. As it stands, I am very proud of my association with folks in the blog worlds, as we can see each others with clear vision, and share with each other our lives without judging one another for who we are, culturally.
ReplyDeleteOf course this is only one of the things I take pride in.
Amity Me, this was a very profound and thought provoking post.
Hello Sandy:
