Pride and Prejudice
Are my hasty judgments and pride obscuring the true nature of someone in my life?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first met Elizabeth, I was charmed by her self-possession, yet I saw too the sharp edge of her prejudice. Darcy's arrogance was no different. Reading how the two of them misread each other's hearts and kept missing one another, I realized how much pride and prejudice had taken root in me as well. This is no mere love story; it is a tale about the walls of the heart we must break down in order to understand another person fully.
"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously."Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
"오만은 우리 스스로 자신을 어떻게 생각하느냐와 관련이 있고, 허영은 남들이 나를 어떻게 생각해주었으면 하는 것과 관계가 있다."
