Pride gets no
pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next
man. ...It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above
the rest. Once the element of competition has gone, pride has gone. Pride is
competitive by its very nature: that is why it goes on and on. ...
Therefore, Success can be our greatest test. As it can produce
pride or the feeling that we have done this on our own. We no longer see success as simply pleasing God with our lives.
(C.S. Lewis)
