    Summary

    As Copia observed himself in the full-length mirror, he welcomed the deadly sin like an old friend — Pride, a prickly thing made of thorns and diamonds, now shone brightly on his face, lifted his chin, and reflected off his cheekbones like a polished blade.

    C. S. Lewis writes in Mere Christianity that pride is the "anti-God" state, the position in which the ego and the self are directly opposed to God: "Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison. It was through Pride that Lucifer became wicked. Pride leads to every other vice. It is the complete anti-God state of mind."
