[MUSIC PLAYING] It's cool. It is.

Welcome to the newest idea in family education. For the next few minutes, we will be using the latest in technology to teach you and your family. When can we get started? Just hang in there a minute. The information you sent in about your family and friends enables the computer to simulate familiar, everyday situations. Tonight's topic is pride. For this simulation, we will be using president Ezra Taft Benson's definition of pride: "Pride is enmity." I bet you don't know what that means. Shh.

Enmity is simply when someone has hatred, hostility, or opposition toward God or their fellowman. Remember these three indications of pride. When you come across them during your simulation, you'll know that pride is being manifest. Now, please step in front of a door and the simulation will activate itself.

Well, let's do it guys.

This one's mine. Go ahead. Who cares?

Jan. I am SAM, your Simulation Analysis Monitor. What setting would you like for this simulation--church, school, home, or work? School. Jan, as soon as you identify an example of pride, ask the simulation to stop.

Incredible.

Jennifer, hi. Hi, Jan. How's it going? Oh, pretty good. Good. Mr. Allen's test is so hard. Really? I haven't taken it yet. You think you could help me study? Um, listen. I've got to get to class. Bye, Jan. Bye. So, why were you talking to her? We were just talking about a test we have together. Well, you don't want to get too friendly with someone like that. Do you even know her? I've known her since kindergarten. But I wouldn't admit it. No kidding. Did you see the way she was dressed? Yeah, what about it? Look. If I were you, I'd be careful who I'm seen with. SAM, could we stop this now? Have you identified an example of pride? Yeah, just look at her. She thinks she's so much better than everyone else because she can afford to dress nice. That is correct. Remember the definition of enmity? Lisa is displaying hatred toward her fellowman by thinking she is better than others. Well, wait. I didn't say hate. Hate is a strong word. Pride is a serious sin. Putting Jennifer down is a form of hatred. Yeah, but hate? Jan, what are your feelings toward Lisa? How am I supposed to feel? She's conceited. I don't like her. Your response reflects a degree of hostility toward her. What? Are you saying I'm guilty of pride? Lisa's the one who thinks she's so much better than everyone else. That is correct. Lisa's enmity is easy to recognize, but even more common is pride toward those we see as above us. What do you mean? I found the example of pride like I was supposed to, and now you're saying I've got it. Good observation. It is easy to see pride in others but hard to see it in ourselves. [MUSIC PLAYING]
