Everything in life has a negative aspect to it, generally I don't see pride as a bad thing, you can be proud and I don't have a problem with it.

You see the think is pride is like showing so much regards to something, more like giving every bit of anything an importance and making sure everyone notices it!

Having an Ego is cool, actually!

I mean I see people make the expression :

"I'm Proud Of You"

Yet when I say

"I'm Proud Of Myself"

Someone picks offense that I understand my value?

To the most of it, pride is cool, robbing it in is also really cool, it's like having to let your light shine.

Slamming others based on the fact that you seem better is what is not acceptable, and to me, that entirely has nothing to do with ego or pride, it's just bad manners and evil approaches.

So people tend to define actions wrongly.
