"Life would not be so hard if we did not expect it to be so easy." C.S. Lewis

Don't Confuse the Symptoms With the Disease

From the ESV Study Bible commentary on Romans chapter 1:

In every instance the giving up to sin is a result of idolatry, the refusal to make God the center and circumference of all existence, so that in practice the creature is exalted over the Creator. Hence, all individual sins are a consequence of the failure to prize and praise God as the giver of every good thing.

Kinda helps you see why pride is called the original sin.

When we find our satisfaction in that which pleases God, it is called Biblical worship. When we find our satisfaction that which pleases (or affirms) us, it is pride.
