I am watching someone suffering from pride sabotage his life and happiness. Goes to church, but the message of change is always for someone else. Points fingers, doesn’t accept own agency. Won’t take loving feedback and advice. Loses intimacy because strikes out rather than face own contribution. Yet a likeable person with many good qualities. It’s like seeing a crack addict who denies holding a pipe to their own lips. It’s the root sin because it caps all spiritual progress. Lust, sloth, gluttony… can be addressed if we get humble. Pride defeats its own resolution. Keeps you dependent on the matrix sources of meaning in life, too.

🙏👊 Yep, I have lived that before.

Most of them dumped me when I refused a vax. Some dumped me over my MAGA Trump loyalty.

One finally called me this Christmas to see what I am was doing. I said busy working, as usual, ssdd.

I was told that they thought I fell off the face of the earth and must have lost my job and my home, and then "just disappeared" (all because I stopped calling them after being treated like shit so many times, that I decided to let go).

So refusing a vax means my life fell apart? NO! IT SAVED MY LIFE!

I had no deaths in my family to report, but I did not force any family members to get a jab, either!

That was our biggest fallout, besides my horror over their telling strangers at the grocery store to pout on their mask, or how they thought it should be worn properly (over the nose). I would never have jabbed my mother, which they did, and of course, their mother died.

I don't need that shit in my life.

Called hypocrites!
