If there’s one thing that humans are, it’s flawed, but out of man’s flaws, what would you say is our greatest flaw, that which hurts us worse than anything, and support it with evidence.


My choice would be PRIDE, and most everyone suffers greatly with it too.


I think pride causes more arguments, wars, fights, dumb decisions, inability to learn from mistakes, self righteousness, selfishness, stubbornness, unforgiveness, and problems in our lives with simply getting along with others that it tops the list for me.


There are plenty others, so what’s your pick for man’s greatest flaw?

Confirmation bias and closed mindedness.

The need/belief to be right leads to many conflicts -- large and small.

Isn’t that pride though?

I’d say arrogance, though there is a lot of overlap with it and pride. American arrogance is especially toxic.

The belief that we have the power to control forces of nature.

Pride is up there but I would go with concupiscence.

Turning it’s back on God. We’re going to pay for that.

I think of pride as having accomplished something and being proud of it.

Confirmation bias is the belief that you're correct even if you're waaaay off base.
