The poem points out the image of Satan as depicted in the truth of pride as a sin. And I agree with you it is indeed among the deadly seven sin according to the catholic tradition. In fact the fall of Satan and his angels (according to the story) caused by pride. However, I am convinced that man should have pride in his heart. It is only, knowing what pride really is- the healthy disposition of a balance personality. The pride is actually a right attitude in our selves by knowing our strength and weakness, potentiality and limitation, fullness and emptiness; in order for to project the right image in the right place with the right people at the right time. The poem is nice….please read my poem pride as my support to my “argument” (used in the discipline of philosophy) above. Thanks
