Pride is good for you.
Humility is good. Read about it or listen to a sermon on it. I don’t need to beat that dead horse. On to my point:
Pride is a good thing. It’s vital to your survival. People will walk all over you, ruin your day/week/year just because you don’t have the pride to stand up and say “Listen you jerk(substitute own choice of words here), I don’t have to take this crap off of you. Buzz off and get a life. Kthxbai.”.
Ok? Try it next time you’re getting stomped on. It works.
