I am bad at titles

Oh, oh, I learnt something new today! Just now I was checking my email inbox and I was reading the newest chapter of one of the better envyxoc stories! There is a new homunculus, vainglory. So I googled it, and now I know the difference between vainglory and pride. Vainglory is the beginning of pride, and pride the end of vainglory. Vainglory is concerned with recognition; to be the best so that others will know you're the best. It doesn't care very much about the power that comes from being the best. Pride, on the other hand, is ok with being hidden, but wants power to wield. I wonder which is a worse sin? I admit I may be guilty of vainglory.. But I don't think it's a bad thing as long as it doesn't become a weakness, or morph into pride. Vainglory is a good motivation. Because achievement in this world is important in order to survive and live well. Actually, I still don't understand why some sins are actually sins.. But I'll just swallow them whole in such a story.. Now, then, how do I start? Maybe I should really start writing.. Study later.. Maybe at 4pm.
