Hubris

It is a dreaded disease from which many of us suffer.  Occasional flareups are not uncommon in men between the ages of 15 and 45 inflicting the ones 25 to 45 more insidiously and often the symptoms while obvious to onlookers are undetectable to the one afflicted.  The afflicted one is often so oblivious to the disease that even when symptoms are pointed out, they refuse to acknowledge the problem.

While hubris is not fatal in and of itself, death can occur due to the failure of the afflicted one to notice obvious signs of impending death.

The cure for hubris is one simple item that can be readily obtained but the afflicted one must be able to stoop down.  One of the signs of advanced hubris is a stiff neck and a secondary symptom is an inability to kneel.

The cure is instantaneous if properly consumed.  One large dose of humble pie should be consumed with two doses of repentance.  To make sure that the cure is complete, a heartfelt apology to God Himself is appropriate.

If you suffer with this dread disease, please seek help immediately.  It can have deleterious effects on the victim's family as well as coworkers and friends (if they have any).
