P pride is the root of all evil maybe that's why it cometh before the fall at least in our streamline version. The fact that there are some commonalities across these seven sins suggests to me less that one sin leads to the others but it's possible. Maybe there's a foundational skill set that gets you into trouble across all these different domains so i'm more inclined to think about things that would lead a human being to struggle across the board with sin.
Is pride an emotion? Where’s the line between self-esteem and hubris? And what does Stephen have against peacocks?
