Pride

When I color the title of these writings I usually wouldn’t mean anything by it I just like blue and orange and wanna use the colors. But this time I changed the color of only one letter which was “i”. And I did this with the word pride and to start let’s look at the dictionary definition of pride. “A feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.”. In my own words I would say it is to be proud of something one can do or something they believe in. And not wanting to admit their wrongs. Those are the definitions side to side and it has to do with yourself that’s why I colored “i”. Now pride can be harmful to those around you and possibly to you. It’s not a bad thing to have pride. We all have pride and it’s something everyone will always have a defense to things they love. Pride has certain levels at which you should set. Your friends and family all have to see your pride, they don’t want you arguing about everything. As I said in the second part of my definition it’s to not admit your wrongs. Now this was my first definition and the first thing I think of when I think of pride and then I think of the other part but this part is very annoying because as I stated everyone has pride that’s how humans are. But some are obviously worse than others. Some people, no matter how much they know just won’t admit their wrongs, it’s agitating and hard to talk to these people. They just argue constantly and it’s hard to deal with. But in the end you have to ask yourself “have I ever been like that?” Most likely the answer is yes, again we’re all human. Now doing this you could do something out of pride that could possibly hurt you or those around you. We hate, we cry, we laugh, we love, and with what we love we want to defend that, right? Like with the recent election people had opinions that they held onto even after the winner was elected. But if someone tries to say a way of your life is wrong you will get aggravated or angry because you think this is a correct way of living and you do it all the time, so you’re gonna get defensive. This is pride this is what you need to try to hold back and think of what someone’s saying to you before you say otherwise. I am proud of my cards and what I can do with them it’s amazing, but when people say that “it’s weird or why do you do it.” Inside I instantly get a little annoyed or mad. Because I find it interesting and this person doesn’t and I can’t get myself to understand that everyone won’t like it. There’s gonna be people that don’t believe in what you do, that’s life deal with it early and you won’t have to later.

After saying all that I still am gonna say that pride isn’t a bad thing to have. It’s normal and you should defend what you love. Which leads me to my next point which is that there’s certain levels your pride should be set at. I have them fairly low I don’t care too much what people think except my cards of course. But you should protect what you love. Keep doing what you do, you’re one of a kind, you’re the best, there’s only one you!
