Plastic food

What is pride? pride is a feeling of pleasure, a feeling of satisfaction in what you have done. what can pride do? it can boost one;s ego, confidence and one;s self esteem! sounds like a good thing? there is a dark side to it to.

firstly, because of pride, one would resort to any means necessay to achieve what they want. and hence in the process, hurt themself or others around him. because they focus too much on the end product, that they don;t really care about the process. is that bad or good?

secondly, because of pride, one tend to be refuse to be seen as the weak. as a result, they would act tough when they are not really prepared and ultimately hurt themselves. and if they fail, to achieve the results, they would feel depressed.

thirdly, because of pride, for the greater good of a larger organisation, one has to keep up to the standards of the greater organisation. why? for pride, you have to achieve this standard to belong to this greater organisation. and what happens to the poor individual? he becomes pressured. he will be driven to the wall. or he will feel left out of the organisation. it will hence have a negative impact on the individual. for pride.

of course, to have pride would be good. as i;ve said, it increases your self esteem, confidence and ego. but the level of pride should be left to the individual. the level of pride should not be deicided by the larger organisation. pride could also save your life. forget about face, focus on the process! you can have many end products, but the process is the most important. remember what happen to Thomas Edison when he discovered the light bulb? also, remember those around you. what is pride to you may not be pride to them.

Pride cannot eat. the next one would be bias.

what do you think?
