Pride Sandwich + "Everything on it"

The Pride sandwich, unlike the traditional hotdog sandwich, has more than just everything on it. Pride comes with greed, anger, self-love, stupidity, and the like. Pride kills. It does not just kill the "self" but it also kills the people around us. It is like cancer (from the Berean discussion earlier) because it is ever-present in humans and all we can do is to suppress its proliferation by thinking before we act. Pride kills... even relationships. If friend A does something wrong and friend B was offended, the fault will not automatically fall to friend A. If friend A apologizes and friend B does not accept the apology due to pride, then the downfall of the friendship is blamed to friend A; if friend A does not apologize due to pride, then the fault in upon him/her.

Before each downfall comes pride.

This was once said by our Literature 2 professor Dr. Gerardo Torres while discussing the fall of Icarus in the greek mythology "Icarus and Daedalus". Indeed it is so. We can prevent pride from taking over in terms of our relationships with other people by being optimistic and benevolent towards other people. If a friend accidentally spills out a secret, know the details first. Do not jump into conclusions and be humble enough to talk in a calm manner. We did not choose our friends to doubt but to trust and believe in them. Drop those whom you are just being hypocritical to. I have seen and felt pride in action and it spawns destruction.

I am a proud person so I hope by using myself as an example, people will not fall into the same trap that I have fallen in. I speak out of experience.
