The passion of "pride" in Greek - Philatia. The word "Philatia" indicates the essence of this passion, and our task is to look at this phenomenon, to this phenomenon to see the action of this passion.
Literally "Philatia" is love for yourself. A proud person looked at himself, he loves himself, he listens to himself and pleases himself. "Philautia" is a pride, self-saying, love for her body, self-fighting, blind fear for itself, concern. It is a focal point for himself finite, on itself the transient, loving his desires, whims to be in my opinion. Protead is the opposite to what God wants from us. God wants us to love him - God, and God wants us to love near. A proud person sent himself to himself - he doesn't love God, he cannot love God, he loves himself, his body, his will, his desires, his "I". God is eternal, I am finite. Self-love is the lubaning of his self, his false "I". When a person is aimed at God and fulfills the will of God, his egoistic "I", his imaginary self disappears, it is not. And when a person is not directed to God, but aimed at himself, his self, his "I" imaginary "exists". This is "me", this self does not exist, this is something false, invented, this is the very humanity from which sin began, this is something in a person damaged, which Apostle Paul called the body of death, this is what he wants His, to be in my opinion, according to my proud desires, it is a dilapidative, passionately sinful man. Nicodemus Svyatogorets says that pride is a dilapidative man. Holy Fathers say that pride is the main passion, from which three passions are first going out - Slavolyviye, Srebrolubie, Sostroma, and then all the other passions.
In order to please God, love God to know Jesus Christ, you need to learn to look at what it bothers it - in pride. Jesus Christ gives her life an example of overcoming himself and tells us: "If someone wants to go for me, reject himself, and take your own cross, and follow me" [MF 16:24]. But in us, regardless of us, this passion - pride, philatia, and, if we don't look at it, we do not see her signs, she interferes with our lives, in our doors to God, and there is a shook substitution when it seems to us that We do the right thing - in God, pleasing to God, please God, but in fact we cater to ourselves, if we do not see this enemy acting within us - pride. The Apostle Paul described this as "Good I want, I do not, and evil, which I do not want to do" [Rome 7:19]. Self-love is when we want to do in God, but we do not work, because we are accustomed to do in your own way, in your own self-saying. The pride is the basis of all passions, and this is a skill, passion to please yourself. To realize that the struggle with it is a difficult and long, you need to understand that the passion is a sinful habit, this habit is not to follow God, but dark forces. And in order to overcome this habit, you need, firstly, to see it in yourself, its signs, secondly - to create a counterpart, that is, slowly, with small steps, patiently and steadily do something in God, overcoming your Self-saying. Immediately, in a short time, pride will not overcome, because we are accustomed to love yourself and please yourself. It is necessary to realize the next fact: we often plunged themselves, did pleasing to ourselves, worried and took care only about themselves, and if about others, in order for them to pokak our pride. Humanotegodie is associated with self-saying when a person flatters another, pleases in front of him, so that he takes care of him, pretends that he loves her neighbor, he searches only attention and love for himself.
In order to fight for pride in smart doing, confront this passion, you should turn your attention to my mind, to your mind and heart to keep track of the thoughts that ignite, give rise to a passion of vulubia. How are they lighting up, passions are formed? We first accept thoughts, the stals that go from demons. Then we will be visible with them, the heart is delighted with them, then the will is connected and the passion is created - the sinful habit of acting by the will of the delay. In the fight against pride there should be two work. First, it is necessary to track the thoughts of pride, which lifts into our mind the sly, and then cast out them. It is necessary to clearly realize - these thoughts of self-saying - not ours. The devil's debris is that he is deceiving us in such a way that it makes you follow his will, but at the same time it makes us think that we follow myself, we fulfill our will. This is a tricky trap, a trick of a dying to deceive us and enslave. If we are watching our hearts in sober - attention to the thoughts, we see how pridious people are destroying on the soul, on the heart, we notice that they are alien to us. We see how the thoughts of self-shaped (samphodnia) are included in our heart, infect him of a bustle, as we capture something alien, restless, evil and killing. We are clearly aware that it oppresses us, it is harmful to us, poorly our heart, this is a disease that destroys health. Signs of thoughts of pride, when we accept them - a fuss and confusion appears in the heart. This is some kind of disturbing concern, concernedity, desire to be as I want, while irritable impatience arises. Here the main thing is to catch in attention, in monitoring yourself, behind your heart, as a heart responds to these enemy thoughts, as it is captured by concerned about himself, as is captured by something (someone) other - stranger, dead and terrible . The criterion here is as follows - when we are with God when we fulfill the will of God, we have peace and grace in our heart, we are good, the heart is good. We can observe this state after attentive prayer, after liturgy, participation in the sacraments. We are with God, and we are good, calm, peacefully and gracious. The Lord is eternal and gives absolute reliable eternal support. The pride is directed to temporary, not eternal, the final, transient, and hence the fussiness and painful anxiety, insecurity in the soul, in the heart of the thoughts of pride, because there is no one, which is not there, it is impossible to rely on. Follow the thoughts of pride is easier from the state of the gracious, calm, then anxiety and the bustle that they carry are most noticeable and realized. For example, we leave the church after confession, communion or get up after attentive, calm prayer - and here are thoughts. Thoughts that I would like something, you need to do something, evil thoughts against people who are damaged by our pride, etc. These thoughts enter our heart, and anxiety appears in it, it is not that Something is wrong, the peace is disturbed, which was from the bob. We observe signs of impact of thoroughness of vague on the heart - these are anxiety, bustle, anxiety, reliability, painfulness. It is necessary to clearly realize that these are enemy and painful - "I want to be in my opinion, in my opinion, so that it was good for me, but I want to be impatient, irritable, so that it was here and now, as I want," and I suffer from these thoughts. And if in my opinion it does not work, then anger and fear. Dostoevsky called it "in his silly will live." This is an abnormal effect of the desired and irritable power of the soul.
If we are in yourself, that these painful thoughts of pride, self-saying (to be in my opinion, how I love, I want to) - this is something alien to me and I am sick from this, I feel bad from it, then this is awareness Very good start to combat pride. If we saw it in ourselves, if you saw the thoughts, which in us, in our heart enter and start us to torment us, excite and disturb, if we are these thoughts in sober (attention to heart) traced, realized them as strangers as enemy, then We can respond to them, tell them - "No!", To deny them from yourself, from your heart. This operation of the end of the enemy thoughts of Isychi, Jerusalem calls, "contradictions of thoughts". We are talking to thoughts and passions - no, because it's not mine, it is someone else's hostile and come off, drive them away from ourselves.
And when I see that these thoughts are not mine and throw them away, then I create anti-thoughts, that is, in myself, in myself, in reinforcing the thoughts opposed to proud. This is the second operation in the fight against thoughts - the creation of anti-thoughts, the creation of the thought opposite to the thought of proud, the creation of the thought of the beagle, so that the beagle thought would oppose the thought of thought. The Word of God is a source for the thoughts of the beige.
The third operation is to fight, drive away from ourselves, drive out of the hearts of the thoughts and the passion of a Jesus prayer or any other prayer. If we let in the heart of inattention, the enemy thought, went to the multiplication of proud thoughts and the passion begins to light up - here you need to create prayer to the prayer, better to Jesus, to hit the name to Jesus and drive the enemies, stop passion, sinful spiritual movement.
Here are three operations to combat thoughts of pride (and in general by all enemy thoughts). To see the thoughts of pride and tell him - no, this is not mine in me, it's a hoax that my thoughts, he is enemy who wants to kill me, destroy, I feel bad from him. Realizing this, I cut it from myself and I create an opposition, I start thinking about God (and not in my own way), and the common feature of all opposites - they are based on the Word of God and, unlike the thoughts of pride, who inspire their will, their desires directed to the execution of the Woli of God. Next, we are doing Jesus prayer, so that the spiritual fire of prayer has driven the thoughts and calm the passion driven by the forces of darkness.
An example - the thoughtless of self-saying came, who inspires something to do something in his own way, as I want to do something unreal, unreasonable, inappropriate, inappropriate the real situation. He, as it may be blind, dims up the mind, pushes on the wrong action, he excites me to do with the desire to do. And I speak in my mind in my mind - "No", and then I say - "As the Lord will give, how to manage how to enseerate, so it will be." And from this thought I calm down. Really calm down. An impatience, anxiety, doubt, a timewise greedy desire, confusion, embarrassing is overcome by a calm faith, confidence in God, in his love and combaling care. Self-saying, pride it is "Like, I don't like it." It takes me out of myself, frustrating - in the heart break, desires tear. If I have all this in my inside, I will create an opposition - I'll think about how the Lord will give, so it will be, "we will create the thoughts of faith, the thoughts of God to the will of God, on his commandments, then I will see that the heart calms down, some stability appears, Because I'm leaving my will and take the will of God, I take the thought and heart of his commandments, I hope to the will of God, and the Lord gives consolation and strength. But since the confusion of chaos of proud thoughts and passions immediately does not go away, I begin to methodically beat the enemy as a sword of Jesus prayer, while the enemy does not run away, then thoughts are scattered, passion will appear in the heart, the world in the Lord Jesus Christ will appear in the heart.
Why it is important to acquire the experience of combating yourself - with pride. An ordinary person feels its helplessness in front of enemy flavors. It is in a tormented state from the attacks of thoughts and passions and does not know what happens to him and what to do about it. But if he has ascetic skills and has the experience of internal brave in the heart, it begins to feel that he is not so helpless. Even if there are strong shocks, excitement and attacks, but a person sees that it can at least confront mental enemies, passions, to fight with them the strength of the Lord Jesus Christ, then the calm confidence appears that the Lord Jesus Christ is with you, he will protect you and will not leave you . This faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, love for Lord Jesus Christ, the prayer aspiration to Lord Jesus overcomes pride, takes away from the blind lost state of proud loopedness, from the horror and anxiety of unauthorized bogobelity, gives peace, peace and grace.
Lord, help us!
the moral feeling, in K-Rom, respects the human respect for himself as a person, based on the recognition of his dignity. Like pride, S. is an expression of a person's self-consciousness and a certain way directs his actions, but, unlike it, is more personal character, it is entirely to the field of individual consciousness and is associated with the OSN. With the assessment of its own abilities and opportunities. In cases where the feeling of S. becomes a stable distinctive feature of the nature of a person, it acquires the importance of moral quality. C. is a positive motive of behavior (and according to quality) so far, since it helps a person in overcoming difficulties and its own weaknesses for the achievement of those results, which is waiting for him from it, and since it encourages a person to legitimate their dignity. But although S. and plays a often positive role in the behavior of people, it does not make a person a conscious carrier of the ideas of communist morality, since in this case he performs actions for himself for the conquest of respect from others. S. becomes negative quality when it is from the demanding attitude towards himself to unreasonable pride, in self-priority, which prevents a person to listen to a friendly criticism, soberly evaluate his actions and opportunities. And correct your behavior. Such a sick S. plays the opposite role, paralyzing the activity of the personality, and ultimately humiliates human dignity.
Each of us is a personality is an indisputable and absolute fact. Each of us is something, has a unique set of features and characteristics of character, unique psychology and worldview, which makes us so unlike each other. And yet, in human psychology, there are several general moments that unite all people on Earth, several psychological features that are observed in every person. One of these characteristics of a human character is a pride. But what is pride and how useful it is in modern life?
Basic definition
Various psychological talmudes give a volatile different definition. But in general, they all converge on the fact that pride is nothing but the protection of their social value and relevance. In other words, pride can be defined as a line, thanks to which a person grows on itself all the time, it becomes better, smarter, more attractive and supports its value in society. Relative value, of course. But is this really a good stimulus for improving your life? Everyone will find a response for himself, because for each of us there is their own personal motivation. However, let's just say: no further spiritual, physical and intellectual growth is impossible without love and respect.
Pros and cons
But pride is good - many psychologists will say. And others will answer the opposite, they say, extremely unlimiting themselves akin to moral degradation. And, by the way, will also be right. After all, a proud person, as a rule, is trying not only to notify those who surround a constant growth of himself, but also to maintain the illusion of his own superiority. Of course, this is true when a person is too much looked at himself, but, as practice shows, even the most modest people are prone to hyperbolization of their own "I".
Human praise
From the point of view of practical psychology, pride is the time when a person is actively fueled by various manifestations of social approval. In other words, when we are praised, we grow in our own eyes, and vice versa. A proud person, as a rule, builds a certain scale of values \u200b\u200bin his head and goals whom, in order to achieve, and for this it is necessary to constantly strive somewhere and do something. Of course, this is good, especially in cases where the person is committed to useful for her and society goals. But when a person deliberately goes along the path of self-destruction and degradation, a somewhat perverted role is played here. It is always important to remember that in itself this quality is a catalyst for desires and actions, but not the main reason.
Egoism
"Nobody loves proud people," so many say so. But in fact, it is definitely like people, especially those whose psychotype is characterized by proud. It is sometimes very easy to offend such a person - just say one word. There is already an exacerbated pride, in which a person concentrates attention solely on the satisfaction of his desires and needs, it is indifferent to him surrounding, by and large. It can be said that too much manifestation of this quality leads to egocentrism, that is, to the extreme degree of egoism.
The desire to be first
But if we talk about normal, then this, of course, is good. Mentally and physically healthy person is always distinguished by pride, and fair. This is not a vice and not a reason for condemnation - this is the nature of people. After all, pride is nothing more than motivation to personal and professional success. Young people are always proud, even those who are considered an example of modesty. This entails high ambitiousness and the desire to succeed in any area. So it is always worth respecting and love yourself - it is better to pass out a little stick than to underestimate yourself and your strength.
Credit feeling
Of course, you should not intentionally hurt someone's feelings, especially female pride. After all, in this case, just that you just hurt a person, but you can also lose a good relationship with him forever. For this, especially relevant, because, despite the uniqueness of each girl, they still have something in common with them. Women, especially in a mature age, react very sensitively to compliments and flatten words, so it's better to silend, rather than express a lie. Well, of course, the French representatives more acute respond to comments on the appearance, behavior and the image of thoughts from the surrounding people. For the ladies of any age, it is important to feel comfortable and calm, so it is not straightforward, publicly indicate any disadvantages - it is enough to silent, but if you need to pay the attention of women to this nuance, it is better to express it aside, alone. And the borrowed pride does not suffer greatly, and you will remain in normal relations.

Self-love
Self-love
♦ Amour-Propre
Love for yourself from the point of view of another person; The desire to be loved, cause approval or admiration; Horror at the thought that another person can hate you or despise. Larochefucco sees in pride main of our passions and the spring of all others. A more condescending and more fair Rousseau insists on the difference between proud and love for themselves: "Love for yourself is a feeling of a natural, prompting every animal to take care of self-preservation, and in humans this feeling is sent to mind and is condicted by compassion, giving rise to humanity and virtue. A pride is a derivative, an artificial feeling that arises only in society, forcing each individual to give itself more value than the rest of the rest, which encourages people to cause each other all possible evil and is a genuine source of concept of honor "(" reasoning about the origin and grounds of inequality between people ", Note XV). The transition from one to another is quite easy to explain. Of course, we live for yourself, but only surrounded by other people and thanks to them. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in what we like when other people belong to us with love. A pride and there is a desire for this love aimed at itself, but carried out through other people. This is a love for others in the name of themselves and love for themselves expressed by others. To argue that pride is unhappy love, as Alain does, it means to fall into a double mistake. In fact, pride injections are no more than minor trouble against the background of life drama. Sometimes they can heal the real mountain. Sometimes maybe - great happiness.
