Proud Flesh
If pride cometh before a fall,
it’s best if we aren’t proud at all.
Without pride, we’ll scale the heights––
take all the medals, win all the fights.
Hubris seems to be passé–
a quality that ruins our day.
So lest you wish your luck to crumble,
best practice how to be more humble!
Proud flesh is an excessive growth of granulation tissue that has the appearance of cauliflower. It usually develops over an open wound, and most often occurs in areas of excessive tension and motion. The swollen flesh surrounding a healing wound.http://www.doctorramey.com/proud-flesh/
The Prompt: Pat on the Back–Tell someone you’re proud of just how proud you are.

I think there’s more than enough hubris to go around. I mean, seriously, look at American politics? If that’s not hubris of the first degree, punishable by a lifetime in Hell, what is?
