Pride is ego driven humility prepared to sacrifice oneself. The sentry always present to misguide one. Deep few words. Blessings and hugs. Jennifer

Great Monoku, Gershon! "Pride cometh before the fall." That's what happens when the sentry stops you from doing what your heart knows is right. Your Texas friend, Bill

A beautiful equation Gershon, one could tear themselves apart, trying to separate these human conditions, I do try but my sentry will not yield, brilliant, cheers David
