PRIDE & HUMILITY

   People get offended
      if you lie to their faces;
   then they get offended
      if you tell them the truth.

People get offended
   if you talk about their politics;
then they get offended
   if you talk about your own.

People get offended
   if you talk about their heroes;
then they get offended
   if you talk about your own.

People get offended
   if you talk about their religion;
then they get offended
   if you talk about the Lord.

Because of our pride,
   this is our nature:
We want to be right,
   no matter if we are wrong.

For when we are wrong
   when we do not want to be wrong,
our egos get scratched
   instead of smooth and polished.

Am I humble,
   or am I proud?
Just as the Lord
   for He pondereth the hearts.

      Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:  but the LORD pondereth the hearts. (Proverbs 21: 2)
