Pride is thinking your past or present makes you better than someone else. Humility is the opposite of pride. Humility is closely correlated with gratitude, which we said was greatest when expectations approached zero. Therefore, pride occurs when expectations are higher. The more we expect, the more prideful we are. And the more prideful we are, the harder it is to be happy.
If we were all made in the image of God and God is with us all, there is nothing to set you apart from the next person. You are equally special and important.
To think, I am better than everyone else, forces you to disconnect. No one is worthy of your love, so your reality begins to merge with realities that only include you. Loving this reality is the same as hating everyone else.
The more qualifications you have on your love, the less love you will have. And the less love you have, the less God you have.
