the self-deprecating British male of the species
wants nothing more than to simply duck and cover.
Of course, the general consensus
is that I should be feeling very proud of myself.
And yes, there's certainly
a sensation
akin to swelling in my chest,
but it's tempered somewhat you see?
Tinged with a feeling of sadness;
a sadness at the fact that we've come to the end of the road,
a sadness at the absence in the crowd
of several friendly faces
and at the presence there of others
who still possess the power to send
seismic shudders to the white-hot centre of my soul.
Besides which, pride always come before a fall, am I right?
Just ask Lucifer Morningstar.
Just ask Aristotle or Tao Te Ching.
Just ask the Hindu king Ravana.
Not for nothing is Pride often considered the
original of all the Seven Deadly Sins, and indeed
the ultimate source from which the other six arise.
Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Duck. And. Cover.
