using the web encyclopedia my dad gave me to search for quotes i came across this really meaningful sentence. a lesson most people forget or never learn at all.

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used
synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

proud and vain always come together with the package. it is easily confused with the other. pride is more of our opinion of ourselves. more than once, i've heard pride being mistaken for being boastful. boastful is arrogant as arrogant is boastful, but how can people actually think for once that it is the same as having pride? we all should have a little pride in ourselves. but too much pride is also no good yah, but at least there's still a hint of pride right?
