Replying to Avatar HODL

People think pride is a sin, but it depends.

Pride from exalting the self, feeling superiority over others, claiming glory for oneself is absolutely sinful.

But loving what god has entrusted to you? Valuing your role and responsibility is virtuous.

I love when I meet people who tell me their kids are the best kids on earth.

Same when I meet someone who is proud of their country, their marriage, their job. Etc…

Loving things according to their proper place, loving god supremely, feeling gratitude for your roles and responsibilities is rightly ordered.

It’s good to have pride in that sense.

You’re talking about gratitude not pride.

Yes true but I’m using pride in the colloquial sense here

There’s certainly nothing wrong with satisfaction with a job well done or a life well lived. Life is to be experienced and enjoyed. The destination is not important.
