Episode 96, Pride and Anger (Part II - Anger)
Summary
<p class=""><strong>Introduction</strong></p> <p class="">If I told you I was a proud and angry person, what would you think of me? Would you conjure up the image of an entitled, arrogant aggressor? The devil's turn from God was born of pride after all. What if you thought of a person with standards, a person with integrity who wants the best for themselves and others? Would that be a fair assumption?</p> <p class="">What I'm asking is: are pride and anger virtues or vices? In the right light, emotions seem to lead to a better life… or perhaps they just create that impression until we realise we've become something we'd rather not admit. These two emotions govern our self-worth, they shape our relationships with others, and they determine how we bring about a better world. In short, how we think about these two emotions matters and it's imperative that we understand their nature.</p> <div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" id="block-fdbcbefbc6845fedc81f"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <p class=""><strong>Contents</strong></p> <p class="">Part I.
