Pride...

The great hunter, pride, lerks in the shadows and comes out whenever you feel you are on top. It searches and targets your weakest points, making you think that you are strong...

Have you ever puffed yourself up so much that a simple smile from a complete stranger can bring you down like a bag of bricks. It happened to me the other day. I was feeling really good and big with myself as i had a job that i was enjoying and i am growing up and doing new things and not fully realying on my parentals. That day i was heading back to the office with the cypriot, and we were in a hurry. We stopped off at the main shop in town to pick something up. We parked and ran in, picked up what we needed and ran out. There was a person in a car that was blocking our way out. With him was a female in the front seat and they were both looking at what seemed to be their daughter, who was outside the car. The daughter was unloading some bags with things that seemed to be newly bought. She was really excited and happy to be showing her parentals her new things. I got even more frustrated with the innocence of the little girl. Her father started to move the car and she realised that she had to move. she turned around to see why she had to move and looked straight at me (or at least it seemed to be straight at me) with a great big smile and just a lot of happyness to be with her parents... It completely broke me...

No matter how big we think we are, we are still so small and are nothing without love and for that moment in time i was without love and full of pride...
Take care
