Same here.

It seemed almost not to even belong on the list. I mean go ahead and be proud, why not, whats the big deal?

With time I've understood that pride, at its core, is a sin against wisdom. Which is to accept ones place and ones limits and to accept responsibilty. To acknowledge the infinite complexity of life and the universe, and to know that you don't know.

Pride is a denounciation of humility. A revolt against the butterfly effect and a surrender to hybris.

I've come to see pride as perhaps the worst sin. The others lead to evil almost as a side effect, or in acts and moments of insanity. While pride leads to deliberate evil, for evil's sake. Out of all the sins it's (perhaps surprisingly) pride which is the one that leads to hatred, and sadism. Or so I belive.
