    Many have put “Pride” into an all or nothing package of the deadly sins. Better to have shame in oneself than to have pride in oneself, many will say.

    That's not common sense, I say.

    The difficulty is that common sense isn't 'common' and pride and trust in self and accomplishment is even rarer.

    They have taught man that he is a hopeless misfit made of two elements, both symbols of death. A body without a soul is a corpse, a soul without a body is a ghost—yet such is their image of man’s nature: the battleground of a struggle between a corpse and a ghost, a corpse endowed with some evil volition of its own and a ghost endowed with the knowledge that everything known to man is non-existent, that only the unknowable exists.

    "They have cut man in two, setting one half against the other. They have taught him that his body and his consciousness are two enemies engaged in deadly conflict, two antagonists of opposite natures, contradictory claims, incompatible needs, that to benefit one is to injure the other, that his soul belongs to a supernatural realm, but his body is an evil prison holding it in bondage to this earth—and that the good is to defeat his body, to undermine it by years of patient struggle,"

    I have a really hard time with that too. I guess it's about being elitist and proving their "I'm better than you because I FEEL more...and feelings trump reason." Second hander syndrome for sure though. (They get their self esteem from how others perceive them.) It's gross. Tooheyism.

    The dumb ones I understand cause they don't know any better. I don't get the ones who are educated. No matter how leftist the educational system is shouldn't common sense kick in at some point?

    At this point I also think we need to protect ourselves from the government lovers too. They're mental.
