A Proud WACKO?

How Sweet it is

There are seven deadly sins that most of us often lose sight of, and that is the greatest ⚠️ danger ⛔️ in our lifestyle.

A feeling of satisfaction derived from achievements or qualities and worldly possessions that are falsely admired. Intelligent people refuse to associate with a prideful WACO. For this reason, pride divides people and may be the worst.

Durante di Alighiero Alighieri, often called Dante, was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His Divine Comedy called Comedìa, initially and later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio, is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the most significant literary work in the Italian language; said pride was the most damnable of the deadly sins. Other religious and spiritual thinkers felt similarly. For example, Augustine of Hippo, also known as Saint Augustine, was a theologian and philosopher of Berber origin and the bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia, Roman, North Africa. His writings influenced the development of Western philosophy and Christianity. He is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period, and Clive Staples Lewis, FBA, was a British writer and Anglican lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at Oxford and Cambridge Universities; He taught that pride was the root of all other sins and moral failures. 

Pride elevates a sense of superiority to arrive at the irrational belief that the world revolves around us. And it prevents us from seeing when we need to change our lives. Neglecting to curb our vices and cultivate our virtues leaves our garden weed-ridden. 

The former guy went wacko in Waco while feeling the pressure of multiple investigations looking into his alleged crimes conduct by lying once again declaring himself…  "the most innocent man in the history of our country."

The antidote to pride is humility. Humility doesn’t mean we have to be a doormat and completely without self-regard. Instead, humility recognizes that we aren’t the center of the universe and that even if we have considerable success, there’s plenty of time for growth.
