I honestly had no idea where to post this, but if it needs to be moved, then please move it. ;;

SO-- on deviantart, there was a prose written entitled, Mr. Abbine Speaks. Here's the link to it so that you may read it as well: Mr. Abbine Speaks

It's an amazing piece, I personally think, of how the human mind is perceived on what could be a daily basis. In the beginning of the piece, Mr. Abbine is interviewed and shown a couple of pictures and he regards them as people he meets up with. His opinion of each group is negative and he puts them down due to his experiences. It is then he's shown the last picture. One that is not described in any way. Mr. Abbine sees the picture and describes that its a person who is nothing but a lowlife and would die lonely because of them putting people down. The prose ends with the interviewer thanking Mr. Abbine and saying good-bye.

While this piece may be a good read, it has made people reflect upon themselves and realize what kind of person they truly were. People have admitted that they were this, "Mr. Abbine" in the story and have said that they want to change. In my perspective, I see their desire to change as means of "showing false humility" because even after you say this and people appreciate your words of "honesty," it can still make you feel all the more prideful about yourself and how you can put others down with such "fake humility."

...This is what I think. And out of pure honesty, I want to change for the better, but its hard for me to do so. Yes, I feel pride in wanting to change and wanting for you all to see it. That's what makes it difficult.

What's the difference between pride and humility? And how can you tell where to draw the line?
