 What is Pride?
Pride is demeaning other people or feeling an aversion to others..
Excessive pride prevents the growth of other virtues. It becomes
too uncomfortable to recognize our shortcoming or mistakes. Pride
is often driven by poor self-worth and shame.

 The Fine Line Between Self Confidence
and Pride

To have confidence is to have faith in your own abilities and believe in yourself, but the ego is
something else, entirely. Unlike confidence, the pride operates out of self-interest. It seeks
approval, accolades and validation at all costs in order to be seen as “right”. A proud person
believes that he is capable of anything, but a confident person is aware of his flaws. A proud
person rejects criticism and advices whereas a confident person uses them for his growth.

 Conclusion
Since olden times it has been observed that the
biggest downfalls in history have been directly or
indirectly because of some great pride. All these
evidences of wars and fall of nations, matched
with everything discussed earlier, points to the
fact that the pride that we all have inside
ourselves needs to be extinguished before it is
allowed to become a wildfire and destroy
everything that we hold dear to ourselves.
