Pride

We all have a level of pride that we need to work past. Be it something simple as I will wait for him to call me first or Mom, please don't make me ride the bus. In the big scheme of it all, it becomes quite funny or maybe even sad that a small word like pride has such a huge impact on our lives. Friendships fall apart at the seam as we look at only the current disagreement and not the whole relationship. Pride will not let us move past our opinion to salvage all of the good parts and we find our relationships shattered into a million pieces. The question of the day is what has pride done for you lately? Left you missing someone you love in exchange for taking such a hard stance. Don't confuse being proud or even standing firm for your cause, those are the positive sides of pride. It is just when your picture becomes to small and you are unwillingly to look at the screen from a different side that your pride has gotten the best of you and trust me it is much easier to let your pride go than to have to apologize.
