pride is a funny thing. because we aren't that good. we aren't that strong. we aren't that smart. we aren't that nice, that loving, that loyal, that cool, that honorable, that righteous.
we just aren't that awesome.
we have no room for pride in our lives. its funny that Jesus Christ, who is the God of gods and the King of the universe, doesn't even show pride. His humility is shown by how He descended from heaven to become one of us, and He loves us even though we are bad, weak, ignorant, mean, hateful, disloyal, stupid, dishonorable, and evil. we have no room for pride, and we should mirror to humility of the One who will return to judge the nations.
He is that awesome.

all the world is mad
“The blind lead the blind in the bottomless pit,
still we smile and deny that we’re cursed.”
...
"Oh, what little light we have,
it only serves to show
the snares and seeds of wrath
that we've already sown."
-All the World is Mad: Thrice

boys don't cry...
why are anger and pride the only acceptable "manly" emotion?
so many people think this. think that being manly means eating lots of meat and driving a truck and yelling. think that males who drink tea and drive an eco-friendly car are wussies. think that emotions that men show are 2: pride and anger. all others are for women, and males who act more like little girls. men don't do that crap.
and we definitely can't cry.
i'm tired of all the talk i have heard lately from intelligent men who say that men don't have as much emotions as women. its stupid. i think most men just don't think it is ok for them to express an emotion beyond pride and anger (both of which are sins, though anger isn't always, often it is). or they are ignorant to how to show them. in all reality, this ignorance show that they are not men and not confident enough to admit to feeling. these "men" are more wussy than any man willing to show that they are a real human with emotions and sensitivities. in a sense, its true that boys don't cry. especially boys in men's bodies, who have men's jobs and men's bills and men's toys. those boys are too weak to cry, too insecure. so they are either prideful, when they are in a good mood, or angry when they are not. boys DON'T cry...
but men do.
