Prideful Reflections

Is being prideful good or bad, healthy or unhealthy?  I have wondered this over and over in my life.  I have come to the conclusion that pride is healthy when expressed for others and unhealthy when expressed about self in an arrogant manner.
It is cool to see people express pride for their child's academic accomplishment, an athlete's prize, a religious milestone, a couple's pregnancy announcement, personal achievement or anything that reflects positive pride of earning.
However, it is not fun to listen to people boast of job promotions, expensive material possessions, etc. from an arrogant stance.
When you look in the mirror, do you see prideful arrogance or prideful joy?

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Sometimes, you need to look in the mirror to see who is actually being reflected back." tc
