7. Really?
So if I go to work, complete my assigned tasks (at a grocery store btw) and enjoy some self satisfaction in having given my employer a fair day's work for a fair's day pay (it's a union contract upon which I voted) then I have violated the sin of Pride?

Gaining self respect by earning my income through my work for these last 37 years (which btw I happen to be pretty good at) is prideful?

Enjoying conversations with my co-workers and the social interaction of same does not add to my (and hopefully their) life's experience??

Helping a customer who comes into the store where I work find a product that they want or even get a empty box or two so they can pack their kids things to go to college does not benefit society in some small way?

Interesting outlook on your part one must say.
