"Un homme fier regarde toujours les choses et les gens de haut."
— C. S. Lewis
Simplified Meaning:
When someone is too proud, they tend to think they are better than everyone else. This makes them look down on other people and things because they believe they are more important or superior. Imagine a person who always criticizes others and never sees their own mistakes; they are acting out of pride. For instance, a boss who never listens to his employees' ideas because he thinks he knows best won't learn new things or improve. By being humble instead of proud, we can appreciate and learn from others, improving our own lives and relationships. So, it’s best not to be overly proud and always consider that everyone has something valuable to offer.
