Today, we're going to discuss two of Aesop's fables that deal with self-conceit, comparison, and ultimately, pride. We've all heard the saying 'pride comes before the fall.' When we misperceive reality and assess ourselves in a way that is inaccurate—either thinking that we are greater than or less than who we truly are—we create a delusion. The first fable is about self-aggrandizement. The second is about self-deprecation. In both cases, the result is destruction.
