Pride refers to a strong sense of self-respect, a refusal to be humiliated as well as joy in the accomplishments of oneself or a person, group, or object that one identifies with.
In Christianity, pride (or vanity or arrogance) is the essentially competitive and excessive belief in one's own abilities that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God, or the worth which God sees in others. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is listed as one of the seven deadly sins, as superbia.

Pride is a hallucination of self created belief on ability or possession of tangible or intangible things/skill.
Justification
Hallucination: Since one thinks as self exists permanently and will exist and all traits that self got is created by him/her
Hallucinated possession: Since the mind, thoughts and body are not the creation of the self, possession is just a hallucination. Once doesn't have possesion of his body or mind. Independent thinking mechanism makes one to think so.
Traits: Certain distinct feature of each body, mind or intellect embedded or got developed over a period of time thinks by self falsly as "Own created".

pride is being who you are, loving who you are and where you came from. not being afraid to be who you are. not caring what people think, not caring what people say
