Some have argued that pride is the root of all sins. If that is true, then we ought to be living with a healthy fear of never letting pride take root in our hearts. That would be easy if it knocked at the door of our hearts before entering, but pride is a silent killer. It climbs in stealthily and spreads its poison discretely. Maybe one of the reasons we will always have the poor with us, is to give us an opportunity to work at our own humility.
