PRIDE IS A DANGEROUS HALLUCINOGEN.
“Of all the dangers which beset man’s mortal nature and jeopardize his spiritual integrity, pride is the greatest.” [UB 1223:01]
Thought Adjuster: “Get down your high horse!” “Stop acting holier than thou!”; “You have a chip on your shoulder!” are commonly heard expressions directed to those who act pridefully, viewing themselves as superior to others and thus belittling them and threatening their sense of self-esteem.
