Having said that...<br /><br />Pride is so deeply rooted in our nature that it all to "natural" to one to be the one upper. But as you state, we must stive by God's grace and Spirit to be humble, the least of all, and to not think more highly of ourselves than we should. Yes, easier said than done. I strive daily to die to self in order to be a bondslave of our Lord Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Good Post!

I know I like that feeling though I try hard not to do the one-upsmanship thing. Honestly I don't feel the need like I once did because it's kind of draining and my late wife never got into that.

I know what you mean about the ...Love the cartoon!<br /><br />I know what you mean about the pain. There truly is a fine line between sympathetically sharing your tale of pain or tragedy and narcissism.
