None of the deadly sins suit me except for pride. Having pride is very good because it shows that your are satisfied and confident of yourself. However, too much of something is never good. I could easily say that sometimes I have a lot of pride. Its not that i boast about it, I just want people to look at me and say that I have accomplished something good. I could say that even though I might have a little pride, my good points in life will cover that mistake. Lately however, I have noticed that my pride is not overwhelming. I have learned how to control myself. I have learned a lot from this. Now, as I get older, I realize that everything I do is for the good of myself and nobody else. I should keep that pride in myself and make myself proud, not other people.
If I had to walk around with a P around me like Hester Prynne, I really would not mind it. I certainly do not believe that pride is one of the seven deadly sins.It is true that I would not like to be branded with letters on me because I am not a product. If you have a little of pride does not mean you are doing anything wrong. However, something like adultery is very bad, and makes you look like a really bad person. My conclusion is that whatever you do, be proud of it because your are the only person who will be facing those consequences later on.
Aram I thought that your blog post was very interesting. I find it very weird that you wouldn't mind walking around with a P on you. Also I think that you point of view on pride is very true. I agreed with you when you said that having pride does not mean that you are doing anything wrong. Be proud of who you are, but not too proud.
ReplyDeleteAram, the topic of your bog caught my attention. It is good that you pay attention to your self pride. I am glad that you realize that the things you do are for the better of you. It is nice that you have that optimistic point of view on things, for example, when you said "... whatever you do, be proud of it...". Good job, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHello Aram. I found it very interesting how you looked at the positive point of view about being branded with a sin. Like Haroutiun I also agree that you should be proud of who you are , but remember to never cross the line. Thank you for sharing this blog post with us!
