Life is a journey, and we are the travellers. The destination? You decide. So there's this creature called pride. Everyone has it obviously though some choose to deny it existance. Paradoxically making them even more proud than they care to admit.
But then you put your brains to the test, imagine the world for a minute , everyone being submissive to each other. What a bore it would be!! The movies would be horrible, the music would be a total rip off, thats if we were somehow able to buy them after everyone else had got a copy. And worse!! We wouldn't have news! I repeat , we wouldn't have news! (wait scrap that, we are already there)
Don't think i would want to live in such a world. But then imagine the worst case scenario, a world where everyone wears their pride on their foreheads. Sticking out like a red rose in a black and white movie.
Well you are out of luck because that's actually the world of today. Can't say i hate it, because then we would have all dozzed through history lessons. I mean. i imagine Napoleon hadn't stood up to the rest of Europe, all we would have studied was how they sat at a table, drank some tea , and called it a day. Pride can be good, it gets things done, however too much of anything is always bad. So when you get alittle too proud for your own self to bare, you stop listening and start hearing, you are never late but delayed, you don't give excuses, you tend to call them reasons, and when someone tries to advise you, the only think you are thinking is what are you going to say when they are done making that vague sound.
Everybody to an extent is like this, though this doesn't nake it right. If we could just tone it down abit, to a rather more healthy level. A point where it meets integrity, a point where we feel pride in the things we did that brought change, this world would be a much better place to live in.
I quote from a self-help commercial on tv:
CHANGE IS YOU, CHANGE IS ME, CHANGE IS US
