is pride the only obstacle inhibiting us from attaining what we want, expressing how we feel, displaying the actions we innately desire to show, solving friendship/relationship/family problems?

in losing one's pride, one achieves glory and honour among others.
or does the loss of pride bring humiliation?

principles/beliefs and pride are separate yet the former gives birth to the latter.
can we hold firmly onto our beliefs and still forgo our pride?
can the former exist wthout the latter?
like children comes as products of a marriage..so pride is often a natural product of standing firm to one's beliefs...
as we know, pride comes before a fall, so does children come before divorce?

how much pride is enough...so we don't fall?

The last day and a half has been rather upsetting and emotionally draining for me....with not juz stress of the nearing exams but more so because of problems within my group and other personal stuff which i dun wish to talk abt it here....

aniway..
Just few hours back, after coming out from my bathroom, i found sitting on the ground in front of the bathroom door 3 little piglet stuff toys..and a folded note on them...

opened and the note read:

Poem on life

Life is like a box of chocolates..there are sweet times and bitter too. But in the end, they're still nice.

I was touched and speechless by what my 13 year old brother did. Tears just rolled down my cheeks.
