It helps us stand up for ourselves and what we know to be right.<BR/><BR/>I think it's the product of unbridled pride - hubris, to be exact - that is the truly deadly ground here. Hubris gets people (and institutions, companies, nations...) into some pretty serious jams. I can think of a few right now.<BR/><BR/>Great post.Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337084304437634522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948070944762476183.post-32546904692647473692008-11-24T05:57:00.000-05:002008-11-24T05:57:00.000-05:00I think you nailed this one (pun only slightly int...I think you nailed this one (pun only slightly intended).

I've always been pretty happy with having some pride in myself and probably a little too much when it comes to asking for help. My pride <I>always</I> gets in the way when it comes to asking for help. But as I read on, I was happy to see a person can have pride yet not go overboard...if they're careful. The windows look great. As someone who can barely hit a nail with a hammer, I can't even imagine doing anything like that.A Spot of Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043375831501269374noreply@blogger.com
