For Thursday, August 9: Make some room will ya?

If you have room for pride then you do not have room for love. Unknown

Pride is that obnoxious guest that takes over the room with its "me me me me" behavior. "Look at me, listen to me, it's all about me." That's pride and it's personality. Pride is so consuming that eats up consideration, kindness, gratefulness, and the point of today's quote - love. Pride is an effective obstacle to genuine relationships which include some kind of love - whether that be philia (friendship) or eros (romantic). Pride doesn't allow the heart to have a sincere affection and love for another because it is so worried about being fed. Pride is obese and it's time to go on a diet. Starve yourself of pride and you will find that you have the capacity to genuinely love.
