"The moral of this is: have pride in yourself and only yourself, for it is the only entity that you truly know."
I agree, but can you even have pride in yourself? How often does your opinion change of yourself? How well do you really know yourself?
"To know others is intelligence, to know thyself is wisdom" ~paraphrased
And to the person that said they can have pride in their children, well what about those children that turned into mass murderers and serial killers? Do you think their mother's said, "Nope, never had any pride in my kids, I knew they were Serial killers!" Heck no, they thought, and usually continue to think their kids are little angels.
What about those suicide bomber terrorists, Ill bet a lot of their mothers, and their supporters are proud of them. But who is right?
The truth is, there is no truth. Or if there is, it is a dynamic thing that is different for everyone.
