Dont quite understand your OP, but will try and reply in kind..

Pride comes before a fall, they say. Pride is something that is very difficult to overcome sometimes, and false pride is a killer.

I have found since I have got older, and hopefully matured, that I find it less difficult to admit when Im wrong, and not let my pride get in the way. Sometimes its hard, but I try and keep an open mind these days..

Interesting subject, pride..

Indeed a very interesting topic grin


I feel prideful to admit I am or were wrong. It makes me to proud myself. Awesome feeling.

And so many arguments are just go to history. It helps to have a healthy realtionships.

When we are wrong we are wrong. Just admit it conversing

If an excess of pride indicates a shortage of humility,

cultivate humility.

thumbs up And look around you...it can be very humbling. There are a lot of awesome people in this world, and there's always someone "bigger and better" out there.

Pride in accomplishments is a good thing, but pride that makes it impossible for you to view yourself honestly is not. To tame it, work in a soup kitchen or volunteer on a hotline. Or read the life stories of people like the current Dalai Lama, Louise Hay, Helen Keller...look at what others have done and overcome in their lives. wine

I agree...thumbs up

The problem arises sometimes, though, when people do not wish to accept apologies. They would rather continue with a grudge. Then, its pointless even to try and make peace..

Only thing is pride isn't the same as Knowing for sure you can't trust that one, so thats not about holding a grudge against them it's knowing whom to never turn your back on.
