Pride works less like an occasional habit than an operating system, constantly turning our attention back to ourselves. Paul's hymn to the self-emptying Christ in Philippians 2 shows that humility is not thinking less of ourselves but thinking of ourselves less, and that Jesus, not self-effort, drives the change. A millipede who topples when he analyzes his own walking, and is freed when captivated by the sunrise, pictures that freedom.
