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?
