It wouldn't be very hard to teach a child to believe that the moon was made of cheese.
What does pride mean? When a person is willing to entertain the possibility that the 'facts' he has been taught since birth might be wrong, that seems to be the definition of HUMILITY (hey... this thing I have believed all my life might be wrong).
But Creekster calls it pride when someone thinks he might have been wrong. Isn't that a bit counterintuitive? Don't you think a more typical definition of pride would include the stubborn obstinance of holding to a view, come hell or high water?
