17 An ultimate unjust choice of a way of life is sometimes described as either the sin of pride or the choice to be God over one's life. Neither description is objectionable because each entails a choice to reserve the right to pursue the good sooner rather than later at the expense of the well-being of others. Each description entails a choice to reserve the right not to exercise restraint in the pursuit of what is good.
