Today's Thoughts after thinking about the bible v.06

 I searched who's the greatest in the kingdom of God and found these two answers:

- Little Kids

- Servants

I also read proverbs and I'm fixated on the contrast between the proud and the widow Proverb 15:25

What is the "Proud" mentioned here and in Psalms that it is so bad?

I like to call on people who don't want to take the due responsibilities but felt entitled to all the benefits "Little Kids", but this is where I'm wrong. Little Kids embrace responsibilities, they want to be bigger and stronger and more capable and explore more (they have the desire to do it right). While the people who have ceased from holding on to the principals of accountability are the opposite of those. 

So the more one wants to contribute, the more of the person was like a little kid. The more a person is young, the more he/she would want to make better and better results. 

So the opposite of this must be the "proud" that's meant by the Proverbs and Psalms based on the contrast on the widow and the other contrasts mentioned there (in Proverbs and Psalms). The "proud" would be the opposite of humbleness where the proud would consider himself/herself no longer necessary to be a further productive positive member of the Kingdom.

Edit:

We are called to leave our childishness behind and to be an adult. For me now I interpret this as being wiser in taking responsibilities, as much as I want to work and yield results, I also want to do it responsibly. What is responsible productivity? The kind of productivity that is productive and when it was not, we are there to make it right. 

As adults who want to be like Little Kids, we are to be careful not to take on ventures that would hurt our wannability to serve. We are to be careful to accurately pick ventures that would improve our wannability to serve. Making a lot of solutions could hurt our servanthood when they were bad, but making solutions is the way of life. So we got to make it good.
