Introduction
We have pride related to many areas such as our body, our
physical abilities, our earnings, our savings, our intellect, our knowledge,
our experience, our mystical abilities, our character etc. etc. But we don’t often
recognise that we have pride related to love.
A Strange Pride – Maybe Jealousy
With this strange type of pride, we want to be loved more
and the most. This aspect of pride comes out when others are in the picture. It
may well be called jealousy, but a jealousy not related to fear or lust but to
pride.
Part of the Identity
What’s more this aspect of pride has made some of its
identity or self-worth out of being loved the most and more. It does not want
to be humble and accept say second place just for a moment.
The person feels that at their very core they are being crumbled
away or debased. The interesting thing is as a consciousness or as a Being we
are not the love of others, or most love or the more love from others.
We Can’t Do Anything Really About It
Others loving or not loving us is the business of their
heart, we can’t control that at all, we have very little say in it actually.
We may be so good to a person and another is not so good yet
the person we want to love us really loves the ‘not so good’ person.
When this Pride Goes Irate
This aspect of pride gets really bad when people are in a
relationship and the one with e pride thinks “we are married or together and so
I am meant to be loved the most and more, if not what the hell I am doing in
this marriage or relationship”.
The above thinking seems pretty logical, and it can be
questioned, though believing that thought only adds to the pain. So maybe it is
worth questioning and seeing that for a second or a moment others can be loved
more than us if we are married or in a relationship.
