The short version ...

... of my last post would be this: one of our most sinful instincts is self dramatization.

It seems relatively harmless because each moment of self dramatization seems like relatively small beer when it happens. But each time we do, we entrench habits that sprawl out and effect others.

We get encouraged to do this sort of thing at every turn in our society.

Even Christians do it when we imagine ourselves to be fighting God's battles for him when all we are really doing is trying to lend some sense of importance to our lives.
