I believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think people should be angry at things that are worthy of anger. Injustice is outrageous and deserves outrage.
Pride is one of the socially acceptable sins in some corners of the evangelical culture. It's just straight-out ego gratification - how important I am; whether my name gets on the building or on the TV program or in the magazine article.
Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don't give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.
I think people have to be more aware of what the repercussions are of their actions.
I take pride in having something to say, which people actually want to hear.
Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.
I think people have to take responsibility for their own actions.
It's a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so.
I have come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it's good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.
Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.
