Self-justification
For pride, leading to self-justification, and always spurred by conscious
or unconscious fears, is the basic breeder of most human difficulties,
the chief block to true progress. Pride lures us into making demands
upon ourselves or upon others which cannot be met without perverting
or misusing our God-given instincts.

Thought to Ponder . . .
The difference between pride and humility:
Pride is who is right. Humility is what is right.
