There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular and no fault of which we are unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others. Pride is competition. A man is not proud because he owns a nice home or has a fancy car. Instead he is proud because his home is nicer, his car fancier than another's.
Pride comes from feeling richer, smarter or prettier than another.
The pleasure of being above the rest makes one proud. Without competition there is no pride. Many times we may feel that our religion is making us better people, we may look down on others for not being Catholic or not believing in God. This is pride. Being in the true presence of God means that you will forget about yourself.
