Pride

 

Pride

Instead of saying sorry to ease pain,
pride preaches a text of wisdom.
Laughable of course.

Great little ditty. And I

Great little ditty. And I know I've been there, sometimes *I'm sorry* is so pitifully piss poor and wanting someone to be sorry even more so. ~Anna

Humility

True, pride is the greatest sin, the hindrance to anything great. I agree with you that wisdom is achievable by humility. When I am able to admit my mistakes, I am at peace with myself and friends. Thanks Barry for your comments. Opme
