Pride


In the book The Path to Confession, it says that Pride is loathsome and disgusting.  "Pride is disgusting in adults, bet it is equally unpleasent in those who are younger." Just like a thundercloud hides the sun so that we can't see it, spiritual light and warmth are hidden by Pride. "A proud person dosen't see the Lord." He will not be let in the gate of Heaven. You can easily see the person who has the disease of Pride. Until recently, most of us have thought that "I" was the first letter of the Alphabet, like "I want this," - "No I don't." Every single person struggles with that, but we have try to not be prideful, and learn to be humble.~ alexandra
