    It is said that "Pride goes before the fall". I am here to dispute that. It should be "Pride goes during the fall". And the sudden stop at the end is where things REALLY get messy.

    Technically, "pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall". :)

      Unless you fall into a pool of water from a height that will not kill you. or fall into a nice cushiony bouncy-bounce, that eventually cradles you, and lulls you into a nice afternoon nap. I find that Anger is the most destructive force to an individual. Much more destructive than Pride. Far more messy, too.

          It's not the fall that kills you, it's that sudden stop!

              Looking at the answers of former Twitter officials during yesterday's questioning session, looks like - "Pride stays even after the fall".

                The last time I fell and the whole neighborhood came to pick me u off the ground, the only thing I hurt was my pride.

                      Unfortunately even that word has become politicized now. If they ever politicize tacos, we finna have words. :laugh: But, you are 100% correct. It's almost like we had this guide for thousands of years to tell us what ruins people: pride, envy, wrath, gluttony, lust, sloth, and greed. When I say pride here, I don't mean in the politicized sense. Talking about the actual meaning of the word.

                          Been there. Bought the bouncy-bounce. I certainly have had my ups and downs like everybody else.
