(Unrelated post, but don't agree with you on the not worth traveling to see the world thought)

Healthy pride = satisfaction from achievements

Unhealthy pride = arrogance and an inflated sense of superiority

Nuanced distinction

How to balance self belief (I can do this attitude) with Catholic guilt and shame so that I'm not only self loathing and depressed, but able to succeed and believe in myself WITHOUT becoming prideful like Satan? Is it a matter of having the pride, but being able to set it down when necessary?

You have to protect your self worth or people will walk all over you

Religion is fine until it enters government.

Then it becomes The Chosen who justify every action with that very superiority you condemn.

You’re talking about gratitude not pride.

Watch the difference in someone’s attitude when you tell someone you are grateful for them instead of proud of them.

We are so utterly dependant on everything around us and who and what came before us and formed us in the most literal sense of the word, that I think pride just does not make sense.

And being proud of ‘a country’ is even more shaky. Its just a concept, a thought that one is proud of. Or does the pride really end with the last person, the final inch inside the border?

There’s a big difference between ‘I’m better than you’ and ‘I cherish what I’m responsible for.’ The second one feels healthy.

Generally when I am investigating these ideas I go back to the root because today's religious landscape is full of false understandings and cultural interpretations. This is what I got from Gemini

It specifically denotes comparison between people and placing one's self above others and above God, which is common between many religions systems.

There is nothing wrong about being proud of stuff.

I mean if it's something that you earned for yourself.

You can't really be proud of being intelligent, or beautiful, or born in a rich family, because those are things that came to you as a gift from good luck.

You can't even be proud of your nation, much like you cannot be proud of ironman or captain america, not because you didn't earn them, but because they are things that don't exist in reality.

Pride and dignity are similar, but necessarily the same.

We just usege same words to mean too many different things.

Pride is an involuntary reaction to your actions that you perceived as virtuous. Example: if you believe honesty or hard work are virtues (thru your own logic and reasoning and not thru something like dogma) then you will not help but be proud if you are honest or hard working even when tempted to be dishonest and lazy.

When you align the action of your body with the thoughts of your mind then you have feelings about that. You can't hide from yourself. If your actions are misaligned with your thoughts then you can't hide from yourself either. You may be able to fool others but you can't fool yourself.

Balance and self-awareness like this, being able to see oneself like this and reflect upon what others see as a black and white matter is key⚡️🫡

I use to view pride as sinful. It is after all one of the seven deadly sins. But I have come to view it as a virtue. It is the golden mean between undue humility and vanity. Both are opposite extremes of pride - one being deficient and the other in excess.

A properly proud person has an accurate assessment of their own worth, neither boasting about achievements nor downplaying genuine accomplishments.

It never sat right with me to view pride purely as sinful. The thought always came back to me as I watched DBZ in my younger days with the prideful Vegeta. His pride wasn’t always something I considered bad.

Show pride in your work, your skill, your children. Show some pride in yourself, as all people should, humans are amazing. But elevating it above that, internalizing it, and taking pride in things you have no hand in creating or maintaining and making that your guiding principle in life is a poor path to take.
