| An IQ is not based on how much information is stored in your brain, but how many thoughts you can process at one time. I, in no way boasting, have one that would confuse you on one word. I am so blessed, im cursed. In no way, do I have much pride at all. The only thing I have to even be grateful for 'is' my mind. Most people would do anything to have this 'gift' and I am more than willing to get rid of it. In order to boast one must, first, have pride. Much pride and no pride look almost identical, but can easily be proven either way. A person with much pride a certain amount of pressure will "snap". The more pride a person has, the louder the snap will be. A person with no pride will not break under any circumstance. Everyone is born into pride, so, if it is at all possible to have no pride, then one would have had to have been broken at one point in their life. Even a person with very little pride can bottle things up until they pop, but a person who has none, cant. When one's soul is broken; that is his thoughts and emotions, there grudging pile of problems. Though, in a sense, the soul is still there, a broken glass holds no water; the vessel in obsolete and is good for nothing. Once again, no pride. It is not prideful to argue, but what you argue about. If a person argues over what was said about him, then he fights to right himself, but he who fights over false information, argues to right the other. For from pride is the development of another. With all pettiness aside, who would want a gift that causes grief. Seriously. If a person gives you a pair of platinum prescription sunglasses, would you still wear them if you're allergic to platinum? What if you're ears would be pricked and bleed the whole time you have them on? What if you were in the dark for 12 hours of the day? Same to my analyzation here. It just causes pain. A little extreme for an analogy, but still works. Ignorance is bliss only to those who aren't. Ignorance is hell to those who don't know better. People do feat what they don't understand. When people look at something they cannot possibly figure out, their first inclination is to shy away from it, but when it doesn't immediately resolve itself, then it's a blotch in that person's communicable routine. Since they shied away at first glance, and it didn't go away, they try to come up with a reason or reasons why they did to justify a natural and forgivable response. Making things more difficult and more complex for everything affected by this person and/or persons environment. This is done, once again, out of pride. In order to justify an embarrassing action against an unknown element, they look for quick and quazi-reasonable excuses and explanations for this mere act of stupidity. This doesn't have to be factual by any means; it just has to make sense to this individuals psyche. Many possibilities can and will stem from this mentality, but is all irrelevant now. When falsified information gets passed to others and in taken as literal truth, then it's a lie, it doesn't even have to be taken by the other, but, once spoken, it is a false witness. Defending ones self is prideful, but stopping a lie once it's spoken to deliver and kind of facts is beneficial to those outside of him. "love," by some people's interpretation; "power" by mine. Not empowering my self, but giving power to those around me. Knowledge is power. Just remember having no pride is perceived exactly like having much pride, so don't lean on your own understanding and "never" judge a book by it's cover. A person may look at something and perceive whatever they wish, but never teach it. As for as other problems needing reasoned out: a person claiming themselves as Christian is an important deal. One, it means "little Christ" or "Christ-like"; two, the person that is saying they're Christian is actually appropriating themselves as or like unto Christ. You use the title, but act wickedly are doing nothing short of blaspheming Jesus and the Father in him. These same people curse their own brother for what he says about the Bible has, also, blasphemed the Spirit, too. That is more wicked than Paganism. Surrounded by these kind of Christians who are bent to kill has caused a great harm in the kingdom of heaven. If I wasn't a believer I wouldn't want this by any means. I am far from being Christ-like but I will call myself a believer. I am NOT Christian, yet. From what I "see" not much is. I want nothing to do with them. The bible I read is all I enjoy. So far, how I read it and what I know about it is evil and blasphemous and all I do is read out loud what I find. Nothing added the Bible is a living word and grows with you and I'm being shown that I wrong. I want nothing to do with this mentality. This organization has countless times shown me through illegal hustles, and corrupted leadership, and the fake being rewarded, and radically misconstrued scripture and not to mention how they deal with students. I want nothing to do with this place. Give me a testimony day (or time to give mine) and I will not "be" a false witness, at least, to myself. I have learned, on the other hand, that I am devoid of understanding of the Holy Spirit. The only thing that this place has done to let me know what I have that's wrong with me, is that bit of information. I have learned that I am or have been an apostate before I got here. Basically an apostate is a disciple of Christ who is a false prophet without knowing that they are, because there is no Holy Spirit in them to show them the truth. But at the same time, I wont act like something that I don't know is real. So as far as it goes, How can you record a man's relationship with God on paper? There is no such thing.I am in a cult and no one knows it, but me. Ha! But I'm crazy! |

| You might be the most brilliant person in the world!!! I couldn't follow that past "An IQ". Einstein was brilliant for his elegance, "gracefully concise and simple; admirably succinct" (dictionary definition). |

| O.K. not sure where you were going with some of this, or what kind of answer you were seeking. I think you have a very unique way of thinking, and you should be proud of that. So I am only going to address the issue on your definition of pride. To every body the definition is different. I believe that pride comes from the discovery of yourself. I believe you must first know without a doubt what you core holds. In that I mean what you as a person stands for without a doubt. Example; your values as a person, are you honest? Do you believe in God? Where do you stand with you faith; what ever it may be. Is it strong? What are you work values? What are you willing to accept from a relationship with others?(i.e. relationship, co-workers, friends, family, love or even simple ones like the mail man.) What are you capable of giving in a relationship? As time goes on, and life intervenes the answers to these questions may evolve, but the decision to answer these question at a time in your life you feel able to; will set a concrete answer. That foundation you set for yourself should always be firm, and strong. These are just some examples of questions one must ask themselves to create such a core. It is up to you to discover what you think your core needs to made up of. Once you have achieved this very personal, and important goal you learn to have "pride" in yourself. You know from making the very difficult decision to actively discover who you are that the foundation you have given yourself comes from your life experiences. The things in your life that you have decided to accept the fact they have made you who you are today, but will not be the final say in how you approach life, and who you choose to become. The journey you will embark on as you do this will be one of the most tiring, but most rewarding journeys you will ever go on. The journey itself will give you the answers to the questions you seek. You will find yourself questioning so many things you were for certain you had a grasp on, and challenging so many negatives that you know rationally can be a positive. You will, at the end of this have no doubt, and total pride that this is who you are, and what you stand for. I do somewhat agree with the statement that a person full of pride will explode. I believe a person with a lot of pride will most defianlty stand up for what they believe to be right. I think that a person who has "true pride" in themselves will not be so rigid that they do not respect others point of view, and always leave themselves the opportunity to evolve their way of thinking. If a person is putting so much pressure on the other, that the person with true pride can see they are not just engaging in an open conversation, but are faced with a person who claims to be full of pride, but has it confused with being conceded. The person with true pride will not bring a toxic feeling to the conversation, but accept the fact that they know who they are, and what they believe in this situation to be true. A person with true pride will understand, and take great pride in themselves, that at the end of the day when you lay your head, and close your eyes no matter if you have a partner of thirty years lying next to you. When you close you eyes, it is you, and only you in your head. So you must be one hundred percent happy with who you are, and what you stand for. You must know at the end of the day you could have fought for days with somebody who does not have true pride defending what you believe to be true, but it would not of done a thing to add positive to your life. You must be able to look yourself in the mirror, and say "I have lived my life today with "true pride". I have not in anyway compromised my core of who I am in any action or words I have chosen engaged in today". A person with no pride I believe is a very lost person, and it makes me sad to think about the quality of life they must have. A person with no pride I believe will be very easily swayed in descision making. They will be so meshed with everyone elses thought and statements when faced with social situations, adjusting to which ever is the dominate belief or action at the moment. I do not believe a person with no pride in themselves will be perceived by others as a person with a lot of character, or passion for life. They will be very alone in their soul not knowing what they really stand for, and be blinded by the false reality that has come from adjusting to other beliefs that they think they are full of pride,and know who they are. I believe this is where a lot of conceded people come from. They have changed what they believe to be true so many times, that they have no clue now what they stand for. So when in a situation where they are claming pride in what they are saying they believe to be true, really they are just keeping up a lie, and are careful not to break the fake reality of what they have created to be the truth. This is why a conceded person is quick at the mouth, and easily blows up at others who challenge what he thinks are his beliefs. A person with true pride will be filled with passion for life, and learned to ejoy a lot of what conceded peopled will be blinded from. Always being content with themselves, so always surrounding themselves with positive to prosper. True pride is the outcome of a very important journey. A journey that allows you to feel what it feels like to be open to challenging yourself, and always striving to be better WITHOUT compromising you core. Just my thoughts. A very wise man I know long ago shared a rule of life he lives by "Preach true pride everyday of your life, and when necesscary use words." Hope this finds you well. Stay centered. |
