Crime is Pride

                                                          Think: all men make mistakes
But a good man yeilds when he
Knows his course is wrong,
And repairs the evil: The only
Crime is pride.
 
This passage is true in many aspects. When people do something wrong and they are made aware of it, its better to fix what they did than to keep doing to wrong thing. If they don't fix it, then they will be punished for it in some way, which is exactly what people want when a crime is committed.
 
Not all crime is pride though, and not all pride is crime. Crime can be rooted from anger, inferiority, desires and just plain stupidity. Pride isn't crime because we wouldn't know a lot of great artworks or concepts without it. If people didn't have some pride in their work it may never happen again, and it may not inspire people all around the world to do their own form of hard work.
 
People should also have the wisdom to know what is right and what is wrong. Something may be wrong according to what they have been taught, but that doesn't mean that what will come out of their mistake won't be amazing. So many of the things we have today would not be here if it weren't for a simple mistake made by someone who realized not all mistakes are bad, and that it is better to go with what they have.
 
It is true that all people make mistakes. Some mistakes do need to be fixed, but others need to be known. (259)
