Your lack of knowledge about the inner and outer workings of the mind is
causing much harm, even though it's not your intention. I think this is the third
time I brought it up.

Pride can mean many things, it only takes a quick glance at the dictionary to realise this.
When i say pride im refering to this definition ;
pride :
2. Pleasure or satisfaction taken in an achievement, possession, or association:
-not- this ; 5. An excessively high opinion of oneself; conceit.
There are many different meanings to many of the words in the english dictionary. You cannot argue a point on one word unless you are aware of the definition that was intended.
And you will also notice that the words 'pride' and 'joy' are very much intertwined ;
Joy :
To take great pleasure; rejoice.
Notice the similarities?
Remember, before embarking on an argument you should first make an effort to understand what definition was intended when it was incorporated into a conversation.
