Ramblin' Man
Orgy In Your Head:
Swallowing your pride isn't an easy thing to do. It tastes a bit bitter at first, but if you bear it for some time the aftertaste can make it a worthwhile experience. Once you ingest your pride it's never the same. You can shit it out but who wants to reclaim that? No pride there at all anymore. So it's pretty much gone once you eat it the first time. And on that day, if it ever happens, when you swallow your pride - you go in one of two directions. One is oblivion. The other direction is hunger. You become hungry to overcome what made you swallow your pride in the first place. You become hungry to get that pride back. That hunger will fuel you for the rest of your lifetime. Even though you may get fed some pride back, you'll never reclaim what it initially was. And maybe that's for the better.
