Pride in the things you have accomplished in life is not a bad thing. If you have worked your a** off for 4 years to get a degree and find the perfect job, that is something to be proud of. Nothing wrong with that.
My pride of not needing help today with my broken knee is a BAD thing. OUCH!
But my pride also insists that you treat me with respect, and that 'I' treat myself with respect. I agree with you Branh, about "a man with no pride is a man with no use".
Pride isn't a bad thing. But it can be an obstacle for some people...
Speaking of the signs, I'd have to say Virgo. I say this because although they may not show it they truly do have a deep sense of respect for themselves. They won't generally walk around with their nose high in the air or look down at you (as would the other signs) but you try to disrespect one and you'll know what I mean.
Ass-trologically speaking a Virgo isn't hindered with the conceitedness of the Leo (flatter one, win them over then step all over them repeatedly) The Virgo isn't so bound as would be the Scorpio to be overruled by their emotions, passion, obssesion etc. resulting in the loss of pride (people of this sign are especially vulnerable to sinking realllll low once their emotions got the best of them, they may eventually sting you back but not before having let themselves been stepped all over repeatedly) And Aries, with its bad temperament might have an outburst but will forget all too quickly and allow more trespasses, many are ultimately naive.
Virgo is just very grounded and will cut off any loved one who has intentionally disrespected them. Love won't get in the way of it, they respect themselves too much. Not saying they are impenetrable but being emotionally detached (in certain cases) IS one of their fortes.
Branh: "Well I definitely have no problem telling a woman off, no matter how long I've been with her"
-- I'm assuming that if he's with her he must have some sort of feelings for her... yet he'll still put her in her place (wait so would the others huh) la la la kinda along the lines of what I was saying 🙂 I'm just hoping that not all virgo men are so crude in doing so...
SOME SAY PRIDELESS LIFE IS MEANINGLESS BUT THAT CANNOT BE TRUE. IF ANYTHING KILLS ME ITS EITHER JUICY OR MY PRIDE. THIS IS A KEY ELEMENT OF ONE'S SELF DESTRUCTION....AND MY KEYBOARD SEEMS TO BE BROKEN.
I am so proud of you people. Every little arrogant, haughty, lordly, insolent, overbearing, supercilious, disdainful aspect of each of you. God what a group of proud little pricks we have here.
It is another way we english say ass, arse ( R-SS) I think I am being called a anus or perhaps I am being told I am anal just perhaps it is an attempt to charactterize my personality traits ( as parsimony meticulous and ill humored person)
Lol!..James I didn't realise you were from the UK..cool.. No, I wasn't taking the mick out of you, I just felt like writing that..but you do seem to be on a downer most days..cheer up chook! why you not out drinking?
