I'm just curious. Isn't pride a good thing? And i'm not a christian so i dunno much about it.

Nah i'm just criticizing the people calling pride as a sin. We are on the same side.

oh haha. even monk has pride right?

They shouldn't have any emotion in the first place. At least according to their teachings.

pride is not wrong actually.

the wrong one is when you are to proud of your achievement.

you can be proud, but at the same time, you need to be humble

When you're successful, you tend to be proud of what you have. But I, like you TS, don't see anything wrong in that either, as you worked hard to achieve whatever you did in order to be where you are at in the first place. So yeah, it's the arrogance that people dislike.
