A Thought of Pride

Have you ever looked down a person before? Maybe its due to his/her appearance, capability whether he/she is mentally challenge or simply obtains very low grade. Other than that, it could be the lifestyle they have. Perhaps one would say this is naturally occurring among men to be judgmental or simply be a critic to others, however, if we look at it closely, it will still boil down to how you see yourself.

Even until now, I haven't noticed a person with a low projection of his/herself criticize others. No matter how superior that low esteemed person might be, he/she would not even talk about the weaknesses and failures of others. From this standpoint we can establish that those who are full or partially full of themselves are the ones who have the guts to talk about others. And thus, we can conclude that pride is truly at work here.

Just like the story of the tax collector and the pharisee when they were at the temple offering. the latter was able to make some criticisms to the former due to his pride. And as what Jesus mentioned in that story, the one who is more deserving to be in heaven was the tax collector who simply accepted that he have done something wrong.
