Flattering the ears
We all love to receive compliments or encouragement. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course! However, we need to be vigilant when we start to seek out only these flattering words.
Be proud of yourself or be full of pride?
We all know that pride is a bad fault (even a sin), and for the sake of humility, we sometimes refuse compliments. Where is the line between being proud and being prideful?
Easily offended?
“Oh! His words are outrageous! His inaction hurts me!” Some people are sensitive and react strongly to all kinds of interactions. But beware, the feeling of being offended can hide pride.
