Spiritual and Philosophical Consequences Of Pride:
In this regard, I would like to revisit some religious beliefs. Though this article is not religious. Let’s use them as insights, as they stem from human belief in the ability of humans to connect with a divine being.
”In Taoism, going against the Tao (the Way) brings imbalance and suffering.
