Pride

"I'd pray for you, do it some more for you, do what you want me too, guess I'm a fool for you"- Badu



Pride is an ugly think, we gotta move past it, men and women, grown adults, gotta move past it. It's a killer, talking to a co-worker who hasn't talk to her brother in 9months and she can't even really remember why, other than he really made her mad. I'm like is it really worth it? She said he had to call her first...wow. Your sibling! What if (God forbid) the pass tomorrow, and you didn't speak, over what??? nonsense. I started looking over my life at my prideful moments, and what they cost me. I'm glad that I've learned to let things be and ask for help if I need it. I'm too old to hold grudges, but I've also learned that as much as people like to tell you about yourself, they sometimes have trouble doing that same exact thing that they are asking of you. All you can do is let prideful people be prideful. I don't mean pride in self or race or culture, etc. I mean stubborn, I don't care what nobody else says, PRIDE. It's a crying shame, but that's life...."its easy to blame somebody else," but not this time" Badu sings...Let us ALL look in the mirror and take a long hard swallow, even if it hurts, and get rid of it...it is hard, trust I know, I walked in a blizzard for no reason other than pride. I know on some things we just won't budge, but on matters of the heart or fam, lets try and be the bigger person, and just see where it leads us...just a thought.
