Hubris

Sitting on his throne denying all guilt, he reacts with a hubris notion that cause hate to grow inside the hearts of his victims. This might sound melodramatic but let me simplify this and clarify my statement.

Pride was many a man’s downfall. The simple denial of factual proof laid down at his feet proving him wrong.  A wise man will acknowledge when he made a mistake or when he is defeated. The denial of the latter simply spells arrogance and pride. To be to proud to admit your downfalls is foolish and will lead to your demise. These actions are the negative side of pride. We can accelerate pride and not only deny your demise but shift the blame unto some one else. We can rather pour our humiliation and anger unto anther and thus act hubris towards another. This I deem to be one of the most selfish things anyone can do towards another human being.

It is however not always a bad thing to be proud. Pride in your work and in who you are is a cornerstone to success. You have to tie your pride into what you do to enhance your success rate. Be proud of what you have achieved and who you are. Don’t let another person’s hubris acts defecate your self pride. The most important thing to remember is that a positive act of pride trumps a hubris act of a selfish individual.

Either way we can look at pride as a determining factor of who you endeavour to be. Just be careful not to commit suicide, because if you swallow your pride too late it might just choke you.
