Obviously my thinking on this is not limited to the Christian faith traditions. It applies to politics, international conflicts, and many other areas. Some current and life and death like the conflicts in our world. And others as silly as what programming language or text editor to use for some task.

We LOVE to focus on why we are right. Its a pride thing. Pride makes us weak and dumb. Of course we can take pride in our good works but that's a dangerous dance. I find that I need to focus much more in killing pride. Not exalting it.
