Pride is the natural love for yourself magnified and perverted into disdain for other. Augustine called pride the foundation of sin, for pride made the soul desert Yah (Elohim), to whom it should cling as the source of life, and to imagine itself instead as the source of its own life. In other words, the more you make your life, your well being, your enlightenment, any your success primary, the further you step away from reality. Thus the hell-bound do not travel downward; they travel inward, cocooning themselves behind a mass of vanity, personal rights, religiosity and defensiveness. ~kdh
