The two types of pride, positive pride and negative pride

The two types of pride, positive pride and negative pride. When someone asks you to define pride, or to give the definition of pride you know, you must know that there are many pride meaning(s). As such, pride definition is diverse. There is the pride of accomplishment and one for contentedness (pilgrim pride, pride parade, pride in God, etc); there is also the context of pride as a sin, or sin pride.    Pride meanings, except the word for a group of lions, the rest are scoped around an inward personal reflection of ourselves.  So how many types of pride do we have?  There are two forms if you ask me, in case you are wondering what types of pride.

As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him— ten.
