Pride

On one side,

It turns into arrogance,

That must demonize opposition,

For the purposes of self justification.

It determines others unworthy and unnecessary,

Whispering, "No one else can do what I do".

It leaves you cold hearted and alone.

On the other side,

It turns into self pity,

That must become a victim,

For the purposes of self justification.

It determines that others are incapable of fulfilling our needs.

Whispering, "No matter what happens, it will be okay, I am resilient."

It leaves you bitter, resentful and alone.
