No, no. Pride comes before a fall. Even I know that.
Everyone has issues. Not just me, lol.
I get kicks from it.
Karma, Man.
What you call "pride" is to me a weakness in the 8 personality.
But they need a lot of experiences and obstacles, and even better : wisdom, to realise "pride" will never mean "their happiness" for long
Unless you are living alone on an isolated island, you'll always find somebody stronger than who you are actually...
But if some people love to struggle...
Everyone has issue, me included. I'm conscious where and why I WANT TO improve, not for others, for myself, unless I wanna run the risk to feel unhappy and waste time.
That is also why I am here on the forum to question people, to read all your comments, to open my mind, to have a bit of fun too, to find some answers to my own questions
or even issues, and, if I can, to help a bit...etc.
You get kicks ? Yoooouuu ? Goooooooood!!!! Even some "proud" 8 can learn from others and life. That is the good side...
Yes Karma. Cause and effects and so many other bubbling stuffs a little/tall man/ woman (even an 8) can't control
I don't see craving power as a bad thing at all.
I see it as a bad thing when you are unfair or think yourself superior to others (I'm not judging YOU, I'm speaking about 8 because they think this way when unhealthy). But of course, useless to say, it isn't my problem...
I am here to bring another opinion to the forum and if I can share experiences with another soul, let it be ! _See now the Idealistic 7_
I suppose that some people are also interested in improving themselves and getting other perceptions of the world thanks to the forum or others...
An 8 quite healthy is not unfair and proud but humble and has real strength and a protector temper. The world needs all "9 energies" without exception.
That is all I had to say. I love truths too... And I've known some 8 who are assholes as well as some nice strong warrior 8 (as friends, not as lovers
useless to say !)
Now I can go back to my many boomerangs. :hi:
NB: I have a strong 8wing so ...if you asked me directly "Do me a favor" I'd probably tell you "f*** off". No manipulation. No way. And this is great anyway !
