A sense of pride even if we know it’s wrong…A feeling of knowing things better than others, wanting to prove our knowledge. How to deal with this instinct? Should we stop discussions? Should I not talk to my friends because of this thing popping out everytime I talk to them? Some part of mine knows that I don’t know anything but when indulged into public.. while the self esteem is at stake, the pride pops up😏

Pride of course opens doors to downfall though at your age it is somewhat natural. Its remedy is to read books that open a very vast vision before us, books through which we become aware that there is so much more to know, so much more to do, so much more to realise and be. Also, one develops humility when one meets people who know the true things. Finally pride disappears as we surrender more and more to the Divine knowing that He is everything and without Him we are nothing. 

Affectionately,
