Pride


I heard you saying it is the first
of the seven deadly sin
But for me it is a virtue
and its absence cause deficiency
We only need to restore it
our major goal in treatment
For if it is destructive, conceit
and arrogance among our fellows
Then the pride in us properly be called unhealthy
Not a feeling of positive regard
to drew out our potentiality

Pride without humility is a feeling of superiority
But for pride (in a correct understanding) yet humble feels good
of who he is
Aware of his limitation and retains a secure heart
For pride is his justice of admiration
for humanity
Without he alone or she only but share
the success with others
For failure of others has no room in “the heart”
and acceptance never depart

Pride then is a feeling of positive regard of himself
Very healthy feeling a tremendous
motivator for self actualization
He does not need to elevate from others
for he is secure and mature
A genuine self pride moves to condemn not
but to promote no strife
For pride is part of him but not unjust
yet with self communion
Self aware of being not vexed by power
of pride but posses mature and healthy nature
