The Problem With Pride
Description
Pride. It’s been called the deadliest of the seven sins — the root of all others. But in today’s world, we’re told to be proud: of who we are, what we’ve achieved, where we come from. So which is it? A virtue… or a vice?
In this episode, Tomas and Phil wrestle with the paradox of pride — from Ben Franklin’s warnings to C.S. Lewis’s damning diagnosis, from John Cleese’s “Ministry of Silly Walks” to the self-obsessed mirror of modern life. Along the way, they explore why pride is the only sin that can be hurt, why we laugh when dignity takes a pratfall, and why the happiest people might just be the humblest ones.
Maybe — just maybe — a little less I and a little more we could help the world come together.
Let us know what you think.
