I can honestly say that I have not yet learned to get past this in Life:

Pride

Do not ask me to love the world

For I hate it.

Whatever lesson you wish me to learn,

I shall not learn it.

And even if you lavish me with pearls

Of wisdom to be attained

Still I will turn my back away.

For every sigh, for every failed sign,

I will turn a blind eye and swear,

And I will not break the boisterous resolve

That has coursed my veins since birth,

This I promise I will not even when,

Thrown out from the womb of a world

You force me to embrace,

The convenient excuse of Youth wanes.

I will make you watch me grow old and bitter,

Accused, pushed against the ground,

Hating the world as passionately as the first day,

Having learned nothing.

This is arguably the hardest Life Lesson I've had for my self so far. Few out there suffer from such a bad case of PRIDE as myself.
