There is pride that makes us unwilling to cheat or steal or behave like an animal.
The word one uses to describe those reservations depends on why one learned those values. Pride has nothing to do with why I hold them, but.
**************
Pride in one's accomplishments is the first step toward conceit. Because it's unspoken or spoken minimaly doesn't justify it. I agree with etaoin's Dad completely.
I'm happy that things are done, or someone has relief, or things are "moving along on the right track" or less cumbersome, etc... at the end of the night after a four hour jam session or dance party, I'm thrilled to be a part of making music and enjoyment (I hope) for so many people in a not always enjoyable world, but there is no pride involved.
There is no room for pride in the arts just as there is no room for competition in a democracy.
