Pride

Pride.
Pride is something that despises arrogance.
Arrogance is not pride.
Arrogance is a disgrace.
Arrogance is something that blinds someone.
A warrior is defeated but stays on the battlefield.
That is arrogance.
A defeated warrior who returns to the battlefield.
That is pride.
One who is prideful will not disgrace himself.
He will not allow a person to see him defeated.
One who is arrogant will fight.
He will fight repeatedly till he dies.
That arrogance is hateful.
It hurts everyone related to that person.

One who has pride.
Knows when he has lost.
Knows when he is wrong.
However insists that he is right.
Arrogance is different.
It is the inability to accept that he was wrong.
It is the ignorance of what is right.

So, which are you?
Are you arrogant?
Are you prideful?
Or are you none?
Or are you both?

I am pride.
The one who understands the pride of a human.
The one who knows of the pride of a god.
The one who has the pride of a demon.
A demon worthy of the name given to it.

Diabolus.
The devil. Pride is a thing which lives in every creature. The pride a demon however, is different.
Creatures will remember to defend their pride.
The demon lives as his pride. if he is wrong, he will make the wrong become a right. Thus this pride is the very likeness of the pride of god? Wrong. It is much weaker. It pales in comparison to the pride of the creator. A demon only has the abilities to change the perception of people. A god however, has the abilities to create a whole new perception and label it as 'right'. That is why god is superior to the demon.

That hateful arrogance,
that unseemly pride.
A choice to dance an unsightly dance,
or sit and watch from the side.

Make your choice. One is arrogance, one is pride. Be wise.

If you choose to dance, you are arrogant. If you sit and watch, you are prideful.
