Personal Definition:

In order to understand humility, we must first learn to experience pride. Pride is placing your own needs and wants above everything else. In order to overcome pride we must serve and be patient. If we don't do this then pride can in both a literal and a figurative sense, cause our own destruction. Pride is viewing yourself above the others around you. However, couldn't pride be a good thing? Like taking pride in your work, or being prideful in the Lord? I think pride is usually a bad thing, it is viewed as a wrong that can be done. People who are prideful are boastful and rude, those who are humble are generally more enjoyable to be around.
