Ugly Pride

Pride, 2nd to Denial, is one of the ugliest traits on the planet.  It is only second because it does have some plus side, but the minus side is disgusting.  Pride justifies walking through life doing something even YOU feel is wrong.  Pride will make you lose out on the best friend you've ever had over a misundertanding.  Pride will make you go out of character and galavant, just to spite a loved one.  Pride will make you fight the truth, just because you refuse to be proven wrong.  Pride can make you miss amazing opportunities, just because you refuse to keep grinding.  Pride can cost you everything you worked for... it can prevent growth.  People confuse pride with moral values.  Morals are foundational to the core, they are unwavering... they should be.  Pride is a mindset that can make you appear strong, but can also ruin your life.  Choose another source of strength, pride is too risky.  LOFT
