Pride

The passion of pride is the desire to make yourself equal to god, to make yourself God.

The end of pride is to beat your chest shouting, ‘I am God,’ while the men in white coats take you away. Pride brings on hallucinations and every sin.

Pride is the devil’s disease.

Pride does not confess that God is its helper, that it is weak.

Pride violates every law because it is above the law.

Pride seeks for power.

Pride is the source of every blasphemy.

The temptation of Adam and Eve in Paradise was the temptation of pride, to make themselves equal to God. The devil tried to infect them with his own disease.
