Pride is something that is not desirable, making yourself more better and also having the feeling that you are more better than others. With this post am now able to understand what pride it’s all about and knowing that there are lot of things that we would loose when we are being proud. The main thing i have also noticed and with this post have been able to understand this very well is humility, When you are humble there are lot of things you gain from this then also you can be able to avoid shame and not feel bad about it.
I agree in general. Pride basically leads a person to violate the dictum of keeping one’s identity small. It produces attachment that doesn’t help with rational thinking. It makes it harder to open up and be vunerable to connect with other people.
However there are circumstances where pride is an improvement. If a person moves from being afraid, angry or ashamed to being proud, that’s progress.
If you are in a coaching interaction with someone who wants to do something to feel proud, don’t automatically try to make the person change their goal.
I think in Kegan’s terms pride is something that level 2 (imperial) people value. Developmentally it’s not helpful for move to level 3 (interpersonal) or higher.
