" It’s simply unvarnished pride, acting as if I am God, as if the universe revolves around me and my desires. With good reason, pride is the first of the classic seven deadly sins. Most people think of pride as “thinking you’re superior to other people.” That’s part of it, but the deeper meaning is simply thinking that life is all about me. Most temper tantrums in traffic, most road rage, most tense irritation have pride as the straightforward cause. A temper tantrum in traffic plays out big, bad things in a small corner of life. "
