Supremacy --pride is one of the deadly sins. So why is it so emphasized as a good thing?
You see this a lot in terms of the fallacy "All great people are..." (fill in the blank with your favorite ethnic group.)
They dress this in "self esteem". But in fact in the Bible and Talmud and all the books of Musar of the Rishonim pride is thought to be the root of all evil.
So why is this ignored? Because one of Freud's students [Alfred Adler] made pride to be a good thing. But it is not a good thing.
