Why are humans proud?

Because they are not humble.

Sounds like a stupid answer someone likes to give when they're trying to be lame, but its really true. People are proud because they lack humility. Sometimes its also because people don't know what humility means. I'm slowly learning about humility and slowly letting it grow on me. Not really there yet, but trying. Just wanna get rid of pride. Pride is something that makes the world really ugly, yet it's getting more and more prevalent.
