Pride...blinds us to the rest.

Well judged. It is noteworthy that it was Satan's pride that tripped him up.

My secular 10th grade history teacher taught us this acronym, PEWLAGS:

Pride
Envy
Wrath
Lust
Avarice
Gluttony
Sloth

Nice mnemonic; haven’t seen that before.

Pride as the chief sin is not an original thought with me; not sure if I got it from CS Lewis, Thomas Aquinas, or someone else of that nature.
