Pride is a weak person. He wants you to be like him. He loves himself more than anybody. He is just living. He is so weak and poor. Pride is purposeless. He doesn’t care about anything, but himself. He talks a lot about himself. He lives in his own world. He does not feel what you feel.

Pride always looks down on people. He does not see anything above his head.

Pride goes to his work without love. Because he does not have love. He can’t love you. The only person he can love is himself. When you come in contact with Pride, do not expect love from him. If you do, you are going to be disappointed.

Pride wants to live his life, but he does not know how to work. He expects something from nothing. He does not know what he wants. Pride wants to be successful, but he is lazy. He doesn’t want to be humble. Pride lacks humility. His next door neighbor is not humility. Pride cannot live with humility. He can only live with himself.

He knows everything. He doesn’t want to learn from anybody. Pride is his own mentor. That is why he can’t get anything done.

Pride doesn’t listen to anyone, but himself. Listen, he is a hard, difficult guy to deal with. If you don’t know who you are, what you want, and where you are going, you will find it very difficult to deal with Pride.

When you are dealing with Pride, you have got to be strong. If not, he is going to make you uncomfortable. He knows how to do that.

To deal with Pride is to be vulnerable. When you are dealing with Pride, you must be specific with what you want from him. If you can do that, you will be his friend. Do you want to be his friend? It is up to you.
