Proverbs 29:23 “Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.” Pride is owned by a person who actually has nothing else than self-esteem.  That type of person is always looking at his own accomplishments and making little of other’s accomplishments– eventually losing the respect he/she craves from others.  Therefore, pride will not take too long and downfall results.  Humility is the only trait owned by a very strong character.
