I think it's odd but maybe you don't. The very selfish self-centered self-aggrandizing self-involved take great pride in it. WHY?
They strut their stuff taking victory laps all about them themselves their selfish selves as if it makes them very special and valuable and above the crowd and superior.
I don't know but I will look it up. My dictionary is always open on a TV tray within reach of me when I'm here. Thank you for your reply Shuhak. I shall pause now while I look it up. Back in a flash.
PRIDE "A high or inordinant opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit or superiority as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc. The state or being of feeling proud. A becoming or dignified sense of self or what is due to oneself or one's position or character." I see nothing about selfish self-aggrandizing or self-involved...well maybe self-involved short-term temporarily? FYI.
Yes, there are several definitions for the "word" pride. However, that wasn't what I was aiming at. Rather that first line you wrote - "A high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit or superiority".
