"Anda tidak dapat memiliki tanda yang lebih besar terhadap keangkuhan anda
daripada saat ketika anda merasa cukup rendah hati" (William Low).
Saya pernah bertemu dengan seorang pria di Madras, India yang mengatakan
bahwa dia tidak pernah berbuat dosa ! karena kami berdua sama sama tertarik
pada masalah agama, maka pembicaraan santai kami berubah ke hal - hal yang
lebih serius. Ketika saya menceritakan bahwa saya percaya Allah mengampuni
mereka yang mengakui dosa-dosa mereka, dia menegaskan bahwa dia tidak pernah
berbuat salah.
"Apakah anda tidak pernah berbohong? "tanya saya kepadanya.
"Tidak, tidak pernah." jawabnya.
"Apakah anda tidak pernah mencuri sesuatu atau membenci seseorang?"
"tidak, sekalipun tidak pernah."
"Pernahkan anda berzinah ?"
"Tidak"
"tidak mematuhi orang tua?"
"Tidak."
"pernahkah anda mencontek saat sekolah dulu?"
"Tidak, tidak pernah."
Saya bingung, kemudian saya memikirkan pertanyaan lain "Apakah anda bangga
dengan fakta bahwa anda tidak pernah berbuat dosa?" tanya saya nakal. "Oh
ya, " jawabnya "Sangat bangga, sangat bangga."
"Nah, itulah dosa pertama anda" ujar saya "Anda adalah orang yang angkuh".
Dia tertawa terbahak bahak dan mengucapkan selamat kepada saya karena saya
berhasil menjebaknya dengan dosa kesombongan.

"You cannot have a big signs of you pride then when you feel that you are
humble" (Willian Low)
I ever met a guy at MAdras, India who said that he never sins! As both of us
interested with religious things, our enjoyfull conversations changes to
serious once. When I told him that God will forgive people who confess
theirs sins, he certainly said that he never made any mistakes or wrong
things in his life.
" Did you ever lies ?" I asked him.
"No, never" he answer.
"Did you ever steal something or hate someone?"
"No, not once".
"Did you ever do adultery?"
"No".
"Disobey your parents?"
"No"
I become confuse and think of another question. " Do you proud of yourself
that you never sins?" i asked him naughty. "Oh yes, " he replyed "Very
proud, so proud".
"Well.. this is your first sin " I said " You are so prideful!"
He laugh and said congratulation to me that i was succeed to trap him with
his pride sins.
