'''Pride''' is a lofty view of one's self or one's own [[achievement]]s. Pride can also manifest itself [[collective]]ly as a high opinion of one's [[nation]] (national pride), [[ethnicity]] (ethnic pride), or personal appearance and abilities ([[vanity]]), or elevating oneself to the position of God by denying the need or existence of God ("Worshiping and serving the creature more than the Creator," Romans 1:25). [[St. Augustine]] identified pride as the [[original sin]]. Pride is generally considered a negative attribute by most major world religions, but in some aspects or circumstances it may be considered a positive one (see ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''). | '''Pride''' is a lofty view of one's self or one's own [[achievement]]s.
