today's entry is brought to you by Pride.
haha...rather.
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.-Jane Austen
So, vanity and pride are two very different things.
And possessing either of them is perfectly fine, as long as they are within reason.
[But whats the difference between pride and dignity?]
Dignity:1. The quality or state of being worthy of esteem or respect
Pride:1. A sense of one's own proper dignity or value; self-respect.
Maybe pride is a bit more vain, stubborn and haughty...but it, along with dignity should not go un-had by anyone.
Pride sings and dances; humility sighs.
pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts-not to hurt others.-Maria Evans.
Which is why everyone should have some pride.
Arrogance frowns; pride smiles.
though arrogance is so lascivious and keen...when deserved.
anyhow,
Have some dignity men, and be proud.
