REAL
TALK from KB:
Pride -
an inwardly directed emotion that carries two common meanings. With a
negative connotation, pride refers to an inflated sense of one's
personal status or accomplishments, often
used synonymous with hubris. With a positive
connotation, pride refers to a satisfied sense of attachment toward
one's own or another's choices and actions, or toward a whole group of
people, and is a product of praise, independent self-reflection, or a fulfilled
feeling of belonging.
Hubris -
means extreme pride or self-confidence. When it offends the Gods of
ancient Greece it is usually punished.
Hubris
is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group,
although the group the offender belongs to may suffer consequences from the
wrongful act. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact
with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence,
accomplishments or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in
a position of power.
Wow…I’m
going to address Hubris because it addresses a relationship with God(s).
Basically what happens is that when we’re guided by and walk in the flesh, we
have a tendency to believe that we are in control. We systematically shift God
off the throne and believe our own thinking…..
I,
personally, have to stay mindful of my spiritual positioning
