Pride And Dignity

Pride is a funny thing. Often, it stands between us and the thing we want most in the world. It fools us. It persuades us that what we want, even more than our heart's desire, is our dignity! Oh yes, dignity. What a terribly important thing that is. Without it, we cannot eat or love or be creative or be successful. Ummm...or can we? Dignity has no such value. It affords no rewards. Still, though, we let it colour our judgement.
