Twelve Degrees of Humility and Pride - Part Five

Here we read the Fifth Part of St. Bernard de Clairvoux's book on Humility and Pride. Containing the tenth Chapter, finally focusing on The First Degree of Pride: Curiosity, the opposite of modesty, especially of the eyes.Show more

It's an interesting read, how St. Bernard explains how curiosity is the root of evil, it flows well with the Philosophy I already understand, that is, the goodness(or evilness) of "you" is the sum of everything that makes you, your habits mostly, but also your memory. The mere memory of evil, in itself, makes you less good as it makes evil a considered possibility.
