This craftmanship from the fingers of womanhood could build great ocean travelling ships, the kind that could weather any storm. In this art of yours, be proud. Pride in honest work is a virtue. Pride that assumes superiority in reference to others is a vice. Let that sense of pride inflate all the parts of you that this world has stamped upon. You deserve to receive admiration for this vessel you are admiral of, your creation and command.
Pride is only a vice when it is cold hearted or mean, when it is devoid of love and cares not if others are able to achieve the same.
When you make acts of kindness, when you pursue your passions to raise up yourself and others, you should have a healthy sense of pride.
Pride is okay if you've earned it the right way, with hard work, dedication and love. When you do something so magnificent as a gift from the heart and soul, you can stand back and feel proud, that's healthy. The problems come when people seek unearned pride and that is a rotten root of our societal tree, spreading the rancid branches of racism, negative-nationalism, religious hatred... and so for those who seek to appear superior through any unearned trait... stop... find the healthy roots of love, passion and empathy... of kindness and giving from the heart.... earn your pride and then it is yours.
