When we talk about a cancer we automatically think of physical death or a physical illness, don’t we?

Yesterday, while I was taking my daughter back to her home, in Brownsville, I helped her with her homework. She always asks me at the last minute to help her, then again this weekend I was so busy that I didn’t get a chance to spend enough time with her. But anyways, she had to read an article and then chose a side whether she agreed or didn’t agreed with the author.

The article was written by Charles W. Colson (click to read the whole article). Charles talked about pride. How pride is a spiritual cancer that takes over all of us or some of us, at one point in life. Some can never get rid of and some of us have to face a dramatic change in life in order to get rid of the vice known as cancer. Why am I writing about this article? Well because as I read, I could not help but relate to Charles Colson and Gov. Rod Blagojevich (Governor of Ill). In a short reading from the article and from a book read to Charles, by a friend of his, this is how they defined Pride.

“There is one vice of which no man in the world is free. … The vice I am talking about is Pride or Self-conceit. …. Pride leads to every other vice. … A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you. … Pride is a spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.”
