As Hero Finally Gets Medal of Honour, Some Question the Delay
Wall Street has infested the country with the spirit of reckless greed and the gospel of pride and selfishness. And the government provides the example for the people.
Spiritual pride leads to a lingering spiritual death. It turns the living being into a tomb, bright and polished on the outside, proudly ornamented with scrupulous attention to detail, and ostentatious adherence to the letter of the law — but inside full of corruption, and festering foulness. They love the rituals and the worldly forms of religion, but want nothing to do with mercy and love. It is a sickening romance with the self, unto death.
