Self-Esteem vs Pride

4/26

i was looking back in my previous entries and was editing some of the things and adding more info into the more empty dates. whatever i could remember, then i ran into the 4/8/07 entry and realized that some of the things i type isnt coming off too clearly. but one thing i do want to mention about feeling high self-worth. its just self-esteem. and i want to point out the clear difference between self-esteem and pride. i believe self-esteem is the right way to build up good state, a good feeling of oneself because YOU yourself believe you are great.

pride on the other hand i think is destructive to society and now that i think about it, humility is extremely important to live a happy life. pride is nothing but a comparison of oneself to others and feeling good that you are not them because you believe what you are is better than them. then i think pride is a measure of good feeling depending on how those around you are, which i think is a sign of weakness and the lack of a strong frame/identity. it gets complicated, im trying to think of better ways to put this, and there are of course exceptions to when some pride wont hurt, but maybe ill discuss this later.
