A prideful person is defined in the negative way as one that has an unduly high opinion of oneself. It is one who is arrogant and one who seems haughty. But pride also has a positive side â when a person has dignity and self-respect. It also means that it is OK to have satisfaction in something that one has done or even in something that is owned. So as we can see, it is easy to cross the line from the positive characteristic of pride to the negative characteristic.
That pothole is pride. This is not the sense of the word meant by âtake pride in your workâ or âIâm proud of you.â Those are positives. No, this is the negative form of pride, the kind that elevates one person above another. And thatâs what we really need to think about, because it is at the root of Mr. Big Stuff and the epistle of James.
