"Pride goeth before a fall? ",and To proud to appologize for wronging someone?
Where is the peace of the spirit who calms those who are in tune with nature? Anger is useful, necessary even..for protecting that which is attacked....like mothers protecting their young...but anger when "goaded" by another person who knows your insecurities and how to trigger a reaction, is thinking of themselves and the power they have to influence you. They are setting you up for a fall...because of your pride...you take the bait and down you go...losing security of independant thinking and reasoning. You have lost the strength of communication to discover truths, and succomb to being "played".
Being humble takes more strength of character and shall be rewarded...humble enough to realize when communication initially failed...to regroup and ask forgiveness...with understanding....
There is good reason the saying of "Don't let the sun set on your anger." To keep anger bottled up and being silent..is letting the marble-sized snowball internally grow to become a massive landslide .....melt that marble while you can with a little warmth of humility.....else it will take a blowtorch to melt the ice you will build...and prevent any trust....because of your PRIDE!

pride, one of the seven deadly sins, just like jealsouy. lost a friend on here just because she was jealous I was talking to another woman too. of course, her pride won't let her admit it.

Pride is what took Satan down.
Pride is often the thing that crushes us, either by having too much or not enough.
