Pride and Sinfulness

[Randy]

Great OP @NickolaosPappas . I like CS Lewis on pride. I suspect @Daniel_Fisher can give better resources, but here is one C.S. Lewis On Humility And Pride - C.S. Lewis Institute

Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call “humble” nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, swarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seems a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him it will be because you feel a little envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all.”

@Laura and @mitchellmckain also discussed pride in work here

C S Lewis and Humility

That’s a good point. I’ve had times where I’ve made a mistake that was small in the grand scheme of things, but I felt like I’d ruined things for everyone – which was often a sign of me thinking too highly of my own contributions to group activities. Good question – here is where finding a variety of sources can be a good idea, as well as assessing how trustworthy a person is before we let their opinions keep us up at night.

Thanks.
