Paul Laurence Dunbar

In his moments of pride he had said all those things, half in fun and half in earnest, and he began to wonder how he could have been so many kinds of a fool for so long without realising it.

Pride is not looked at as a weakness, though it is the epitome of it. You might hear ‘oh that poor alcoholic probably had an awful upbringing’ but you never hear any sympathy for a prideful person, ‘poor thing is probably horribly insecure, maybe we should validate him as a person to help him out.’ That’s what you should hear, but you won’t. What I will say though, is that the key to curing pride is not so much in loving others more, but actually in loving yourself more. Loving your neighbor as yourself does no good if you don’t love yourself.
