PRIDE. Have you ever considered that the greater majority of the universe is much more important than yourself? "Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others. It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. ...Pride is cancer: it eats up every possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense."
