DEUT382 … the primary traits of character [having] prevalence in our lives… are pride, anger, envy, and lust. All of these are harmful traits whose destructive effects are recognized and universally acknowledged [as] harmful both intrinsically and in their outcome, all of them function outside [the parameters of] intelligence and wisdom, and each one by itself has the capacity to lead a person to severe transgressions. Referring to pride, Scripture explicitly cautions us [this verse]: "And your heart will be proud and you will forget the eternal, your God."
