"Pride" is considered. "That man has high pride". Is it used in conversation "whether that man has pride" etc.?

Although it seems that it is bad at least even if there is "much pride", it thinks that the contents of the concept of the "pride" used there

and a valuation basis have many ambiguous things. I have "pride" in what "the present me is growing as compared with himself".

[ old ] I consider the "pride" which he holds [ it being predominance ] to be the minimum thing as compared with someone.

In the latter, even if he does nothing,

it is because "pride" is filled by being pleased with looking down upon someone, or a misfortune in many cases.

This is also the curious country which expanded war like the West once for the pride instead of [ for market expansion ].

It seems that he likes pride very much. One person of survival of the General Staff Office of those days,

"Japan should have done the mainland decisive battle rather than should surrender.

It was said whether even if Japanese people are wiped out, it would be better if pride remains."

Why isn't Mr. Sadakazu Tanigaki who says that it sees reality and is more honest than the Prime Minister candidate who is likely to think

only "it is beneath dignity" and the language to say as important evaluated? Does this country ruin itself slowly,

supporting all together the empty leader which directs the best only towards maintenance of the dream of "pride"?
