I am Intellectual Pride. I live in this body of a human, I call him my host.
Currently, I am safe in my host. He has no wish to get rid of me. Only recently has he begin to be more aware of me. A year ago, he thought that I was just a small part of his life. At this point in his life, he realizes that I am a huge part of his life. After all, this was passed on down by his father to him.
Am I evil? Obviously not! That’s why my host would not want to get rid of me. In fact, I am useful to him. Everytime someone asks an important question that requires information, I am there to help him, to raise him above the rest. I have the answers that put him in the spot light. And my host likes to be in some spot light.
Also, the benefits of having me around is that, my host will never look stupid. Since he can use me to acquire knowledge through reading of books, articles, and journals. He can use me to remember all the details of the things. He is confident that he knows the details because I am there.
I have shown him that everything that he has understood or build his understanding on, has been on me. I am the foundation of what he knows. It will definitely scare him to get rid of me. Ha ha. That’s why I say that he will not consider getting rid of me. I am good to my host.
