False Pride









False pride is something you proud yourself of, that you don’t have. Many people fall into this trap easily. And practical people don’t do. It is easy to get trapped into this, but hard to get rid off and come out. Once you are into this, you will lose track of reality and keep on trying to outdo others around you. It is manifested in many forms around us. Parents attain false pride about their kids, is the most common one. They do it about their kids while they are in school, whether the kids do well in the school or not, parents boast about their achievements to others. Once they finish the school and get a job, where they are yet to mark their milestone, parents boast about their kids. This is not limited to the kids alone, people retain false pride about themselves and their parents. They are under the impression that nothing can go wrong to them unless and until it is proved otherwise!

What is your opinion on the topic of discussion? Do you think, it is an unwanted thought? In your opinion, how we can come out of this situation? How it is affecting our value system?
