Of Pride and Arrogance

Hahaha, my goodness, came back this morning to be greeted by Roger sleeping on the floor and David in my room. Oi, my sheets are new, I just got them changed! (But I really don't mind Roger sleeping on the floor as i haven't vacuum for ages, maybe his shirt and boxers can help make my job a little easier =P)

David enjoying himself on my bed >.<
Thats Roger. Notice the PS2 my housemate just got!!

A few days back, I learn to lay down my pride and apologize for my mistakes. I'm a proud person, saying sorry is not something i do on an everyday basis. Arrogance is what I strike people as, and I can't say that they are that far off. Bruise my pride, and I'll hurt you more than you hurt me. But yes, I've realised that pride gets in the way of a lot of good things.


I used to think that a man without pride is worthless as its the only thing that someone would not be able to take away from a person, and thus one has to fight to keep it from being step on. But I guess I when overboard and push my ego into the "SuperEgo" side. Balance is the key, if an apology can make things right, why not just lay your pride down and apologize? I guess people in general struggle with pride and arrogance, especially guys. So yeah, to all those people out there who finds apologizing hard, the next time you think about not apologizing, why not think about what would happen AFTER you apologize.


No doubt I did not feel my best when I apologize but it felt pretty good later on ( : So trust me, be the bigger man and apologize!

Roar!! I found new joy in cooking! Better get to it!
