How pride manifests itself

Let us trace back to early childhood. You can ask yourself: How did pride manifest itself? Some children behaved in a stubborn way when they did not get what they wanted, some indulged in self-pity (usually highly sensitive children). You can also recall your behaviour towards other children. As early as then, the basic form of ego manifested itself, adapted itself or altered its appearance but it was true both then and now: Alas! The others around me are better than me – jealousy. And this manifests itself even if we follow Jesus: competitiveness, comparing with others, sadness or bad mood if I am not who I want to be. For the most part I am not interested in who God wants me to be and what His plan for my life is.
