Pride is the seed from which all evil grows, and only humility can uproot it. Picture pride as a stubborn weed that takes root in the soil of the soul, feeding off arrogance and self-importance. It spreads its tendrils wide, choking out compassion and understanding like a vine that smothers a once-thriving garden. When pride flourishes, it casts a shadow over the heart, dimming the light of kindness and justice.
Yet, just as a gardener must kneel to pull a weed from the earth, humility requires bowing down to recognize one’s own limitations. It is the act of softening the ground hardened by ego, allowing the roots of empathy and forgiveness to take hold and bloom again. In humility, the weed’s grip is loosened, and evil begins to wither, making space for virtues to grow strong and beautiful, like flowers that turn their petals toward the sun.
