“Bragging won't lead you
to a brighter future. Pride must be expelled out of your system before it gets
worst”
Some people tend to brag about
their possessions, achievements, fame and fortune. They tend to exaggerate
their worth by stating unnecessary things to express their pride. Yes, these
people are everywhere nowadays. Some of them think blowing their own horn could
lead them into a brighter future. Well, we all know that it won’t. I don’t have
the right to judge on a specific matter but I am certain that boasting oneself
too much can lead to worsening of a situation. Others, especially the people
you are expressing your feelings with, may listen to you; but when it’s too
much, they can no longer take your brags and expression of pride.
Humility is hard to
possess; but once you are able to acquire it, people will love you more. “Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real” (Thomas Merton) Pride is basically extremely exposing
your self-image. We are not commanded to stay quiet and keep our achievements to
ourselves. We can express it in a manner that we will not be labeled as
prideful. As what I’m always saying, we should always think before saying
something.
