Honor The Legacy
   / @cs_lewis_legacy  

In this excerpt from "Mere Christianity," C.S. Lewis discusses the vice of pride, which he considers the greatest sin and the root of all other vices. He explains that pride is inherently competitive, leading people to value themselves over others and even over God. Unlike other vices, pride does not foster camaraderie but instead creates enmity. Lewis warns that pride can disguise itself within religious life, causing people to feel superior to others under the guise of righteousness. He emphasizes that true humility involves recognizing and relinquishing pride, not thinking less of oneself but thinking of oneself less.
