However, I can tell you that certain luddites often apply it to those of us who seek to improve our lives (and bodies) through biotechnological means, even though this does not in any way involve the public humiliation of anyone. Such usage of the term "hubris" and "pride" is incorrect and inexcusable. kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-75407798609389888172014-06-21T07:21:43.780-04:002014-06-21T07:21:43.780-04:00The Biblical conception of Pride (followed by dest...The Biblical conception of Pride (followed by destruction and a fall) is the same as the Greek Hubris.

Hubris originally comes from the Greeks, and it means to publicly humiliate someone. This is the reason why hubris is said to lead to nemesis, which was the Greek word for revenge. Thus, publicly humiliating someone causes that person to loose face and, therefor, want to seek revenge against you.<br /><br />The word "hubris" has no correlation with pride, in and of itself.kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.com
