Pride Goes Before A Fall

My second post in a day :D Yesssss!

Hey guys :) sooooo, this is actually the original post for today, but my post about medical doctor vs educational doctor was a side dish, just like garlic bread. I am still yet to receive your opinions, and i appreciate people that send their opinions via Facebook, twitter, email, e.t.c, but it'll be nicer to have them as comments on the blog, that way more people can relate to them, and I could always easily look them up in the future.

Anyway, back to today's post. What is pride? According to the oxford dictionary, "pride is a consciousness of one's own dignity". Pride is an attitude of the heart towards acquisition

I havent said pride is wrong or right, but lets critically examine it from my view. Mr A attended the best secondary school in Nigeria, when he comes on twitter, and people are yarning about the schools they went to and how their school was mahhhhhhd! Mr A's tweet will be something like "nah, I just can't with twitter bants. People are calling schools and "this one" that schooled under the bridge is also calling his school. Wait till you go to a school like mine before you boldly say you went to a school".
Did Mr A actually go to a good school? yes he did? should he be proud of it? yes he should. but should he show his pride in this form? NO, HE SHOULDN'T...

Now, this is where I come in.. In every human, there is an atom of pride;

it is this atom of pride that stops us from embarrassing ourselves on so many occasions, what some people term ego... but in some people the atom becomes a molecule.. hence a group of atoms joined together by er.... *that's all the science I can remember from secondary school :(* in the instance that this atom becomes a molecule, the said human should then become worried... Over the years, I have learnt that sometimes my atom of pride builds up to molecules, and at that point I give myself pep talks, reminding myself of God's words concerning the proud.
Why am I writing this post?
Some days ago, I got a result from a project I did some months ago. Now I worked really hard on this project, and automatically expected a really positive response , however I got what I'll call a not so good response. Now was I disappointed? of course I was. but days after I tried to look for a positive side to it, and then it dawned on me "PRIDE" If I had gotten an extremely positive response in that particular work, of course I'll be grateful to God, but because of the extra accomplishment, my atom of Pride would be getting closer to a molecule. This is not the same with many people, but knowing myself, achieving my aim on that particular project may just have a negative effect on my relationship with God. And then it clicked, God does have a reason for everything.
Molecule Pride is the reason people lose what they really want; just because they cannot bring themselves to admit bn wrong or admit needing help.
Okay, i cant find a suitable way to end this post. So I'm just going to end abruptly here.

End of story :D
