Pride and pride are two different concepts with one root. Pride is an emotion, pride is a "side" effect of a given emotion. If pride can still be lowered from heaven to earth, then in the case of pride this is not possible.
A proud person is an arrogant and narcissistic narcissist, as practice shows. We will not denounce anyone, but we will talk more about such people.
What is pride and pride?
Perhaps you should start by figuring out how these concepts differ.
Pride is an emotion related to the subject. Pride is already a pathology. For pride, the reason may be in reality, for example, one can be proud of one's Homeland, one's relatives, if they deserve it, one’s own achievements. And be proud of it, not ascending over anyone.
Pride teaches otherwise. As noted above, this is a pathological condition of false superiority. Often absolutely without foundation. Unfortunately, these days more and more people are overwhelmed by pride.
Is it a sin?
From the point of view of Christianity, pride is one of the most powerful mortal sins. All the most terrible things a person is capable of are due to feelings of pride. The proud man is extremely proud, but it is worth hurting his pride, i.e. pride, and away we go. If we fall into pride from case to case, then safely leaving this state, then we should only fall into pride. You’ll stay there like a fly in a web.
Reasons for pride
An overly proud person is a scourge for those around him. It’s not even suitable for such a once again, because it is not possible to predict what the reaction will be. What are the reasons for pride?
Excessive self-esteem. You need to love yourself - this is normal. But when a person loves himself too much, for no apparent reason, this is already a pathological condition.
Lack of trust in others. We all face certain challenges throughout life. Complex, painful, after which it takes a long time to recover. But this is not a reason to become embittered by a person for whom only he is interested. The pride is often simply not able to pass such tests, while maintaining the openness of the soul. They become embittered, withdraw into themselves and begin to look down upon this world and people.
Selfishness. Who is the proud man? First of all, an inveterate egoist. We are talking about pride, as a pathological feeling, and not about healthy self-love. Empathy, sympathy is unknown to the egoist. Mercy, help to one's neighbor, and compassion are ridiculous to him. He is his own light in the window.
Narcissism. Not to be confused with self-esteem. An ordinary proud person may seem impassable. It’s hard to approach such a thing; he doesn’t need anyone. But such a proud man does not impose his worldview on anyone. In the case of pride, its bearer seeks to subordinate others to his own view of the world. He imposes his point of view on people.
Three ingredients for a cocktail
Proud person - what kind of person is this? Which consists of a cocktail called "pride". The basis of such a cocktail lies three strong components:
False prestige. Pride makes a person put his own interests much higher than anyone else's. People always put concern for their fate higher than for another. But a proud person, with this emotion healthy, respects not only himself. He is able to understand and help his neighbor. With pride, a person is confident that she is the navel of the earth. Everyone owes her. Someone must give her their personal time, someone - ideas, and someone - subordinate life. A person overwhelmed by pride does not think about what causes harm to people through his behavior. She just doesn’t care.
The feeling of inferiority. What, what, but the concept of pride and inferiority somehow does not agree, right? However, the sources of pride lie in this feeling. A person who is keenly aware of his inferiority begins to delve into the shortcomings of others in order to convince himself that there are far worse inhabitants of planet Earth. And gradually, succeeding in this search, the pride rises above others, sincerely believing in his superiority. This is stupid, at least. Wise and strong people begin to change themselves, and do not try to look for negative aspects in others.
Self-doubt. It makes people play other people's roles, try on other masks. And this mask is so fused with a real face that a person begins to believe in a self-dressed image. It seems to him that nobody is more important than him. But this is not so.
The essence of pride
Who is a proud person? The meaning of this concept we have considered. And what is the difference between pride and pride? The main difference between pride and pride is disrespect for another person. If an ordinary proud person respects a different personality and his choice, then the subject of passion of pride does not reckon with others. There is me and no one else.
Conclusion
A proud person is not someone who is numb in a given emotion. He is capable of compassion and respect for another person. Unlike in whom pride rages. This should be known and remembered. Pride reminds of itself from time to time, pride lives in a person.
