When someone commits suicide they display their pride by choosing their own way by ending it, rather than trusting God by patiently enduring their adversity. A Humble person views themselves with sober judgment and entrusts their future to God despite difficulties. You are misusing the word pride, pride has various definitions and you are thinking of pride in a different meaning. Pride can mean that you are proud of something, but the word can also mean how you perceive yourself. Someone can be a very prideful person and be miserable. For instance, many men who are in difficult situations will refuse help because they don't want to look weak or dependent , their actions are prideful even though they are unhappy.
I think you should seriously reconsider your posting style on this board. You should not assume that you are wise. You must be very young, are you still in high school?
So now prideful people want to prove something by suiciding? That makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever. Explain all the different definitions of pride, I view pride as a good thing. Is it really bad to be proud of something? If we achieve our life goal we are not allowed to be PROUD of achieving it? We should instead treat it as nothing and go on about our daily lives? Achieving your goal is a BENCHMARK and it should be shouted out allowed because you deserve that moment in the spotlight.
I don't see how that can possibly be a bad thing when, for some reason, you celebrate or are happy or are proud that you achieved something that you set out to do. A humble person will admit that they have a lot of weaknesses and are more vulnerable than a prideful person, who will defend themselves to the very end. Those men who are in difficult situations and will not accept help...their pride is their downfall yes. However they should know when to be smart and when they need help. They let their pride control their daily lives. Many other men can swallow their pride for a few moments as they can control it. I'm on of those people that can control my pride and use it to my advantage.
Those other men haven't realised their full potential of pride nor do they know when it isn't necessary. What is wrong with my posting style? I have yet to see how a prideful person could possibly suicide. I can see self esteem people suiciding but I'm not so sure about humble people. Pride can be a good thing and that is what keeps me going. When I realised this I became a far better and happier person than when I was 'humble.' I no longer let people push me around like I'm a little kid. I see myself as having a purpose in this life, I am worth something. Through all this I have to thank my pride above all else.
