DEFINITIONS TO PONDER

Pride-the attitude of overestimation of one's own self.
Arrogance-an actual demonstration, as opposed to attitude, of pride.
Envy-awareness of the excellence of another and the desire to either have it or see them diminish.
Hubris-an actual demonstration, as opposed to attitude, of envy.

It is amazing to me that when we understand the proper meaning of words, the proper usage communicates more effectively. I found these four very helpful in my current studies.
