Human Failings
Let's take a universally recognized list of major human failings—the Seven
Deadly Sins of pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. It is not by
accident that pride heads the procession. 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.
