"Prides" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Pride is a feeling of satisfaction or happiness that comes from doing something well, and it is not inherently bad. Pride in a positive sense refers to good feeling or a sense of achievement and satisfaction. It is often associated with feelings of honor, self-respect, dignity, and a sense of one's own value.
However, excessive pride or an inflated sense of one's own worth can lead to overconfidence and a lack of humility. This can sometimes result in negative emotions such as vanity, arrogance, and superiority complex.
Pride can also refer to the feeling of superiority, haughtiness, or the quality of having or showing excessive pride in oneself or one's achievements.
In contrast, pride can be viewed as sinful when it is excessive or when it interferes with one's relationship with God or others.
