Greed 

Pride
Tbh I've been trying to work out why that is a sin and adjust my life accordingly.. I mean, I get it, but if you drop your pride completely you're gonna get walked over
Or maybe I'm way off the mark here idk
Look up "ego death". Being able to move out of your own way is an amazing thing, and it sure as hell doesn't mean that you'll get walked over once doing so.
Ego death is a "complete loss of subjective self-identity". The term is used in various intertwined contexts, with related meanings. In Jungian psychology, the synonymous term psychic death is used, which refers to a fundamental transformation of the psyche.
i was having the same problem and @MMS tried to put me on but i am more with your modern day interpretation.
now 2021 we have all these mantras and sayings like "nice guys finish last" "watch out for this and that" "close mouths dont get fed" etc.
basically pushing the ideals of a barbarian its very aggressive full of guile and not in the way of love and light for sure.
i can only wonder myself as i am growing older knowing the cards i got dealt and how i played them, have i been short changed by what is good?
so i say :

I just checked it out briefly
Sounds fukkin terrifying
Interesting though, will delve deeper
I wouldn't even say that you'd have to go the route of psychedelics to embrace the concept. Just use the term for your own growth and discovery. It's a truly healing and freeing thing to be able to let the pride part of your "self" go. And trust me, you won't get stepped on after doing so. You'll start to see that pride is actually something that can easily be manipulated into a weakness by those snakey enough to try it. Pride can also hinder you from producing your best bits of work if you let someone get under your skin while your trying to focus on a task at hand. Once people know that you truly don't give a fukk and have the utmost confidence in your truest beautiful self, it becomes a scary and respected thing to your peers and co-workers. I had one woman I work with tell me a couple months back that the one thing that's she's known about me for a long time is that I'm not to be fukked with and she was absolutely correct lol. Take pride in your work and let the results speak for themselves.
A virtue signaling white bytch tried to call me out in an email a while back over some super trivial shyt to one of the heads of the company we work for and I didn't even bother responding. I saw the head the next day and didn't even bring it up. Had I let my pride stand in my way and escalated it, she could have easily spun the situation into her favor and painted me into being a bad dude. Now she just looks weak and messy to everyone that she tried to get involved with the situation lmao. Best believe that I saved the email progression as documentation though. Always document issues at work. It's one of the best things you can do to protect yourself.
