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.

I'm not knocking the dictionary but it teaches the same stuff we learn in public de-education institutions, it only scratches the surface of things.
Its exoteric knowledge as opposed to esoteric.
Look those two words up if it pleases you,
because they pretty much explain the method of our manipulation to a tee.
