Pride - is that for quality? Significance, synonyms, interpretation

There is such a line in the famous song: "In the complexes there is arrogance, not more than that." Our research will be devoted to just speculations - what is this? We'll find out today.

Value

The word though unpleasant in content, quite attractive in form, so it is easy to find in the explanatory dictionary. It says that arrogance is arrogance and arrogance. It turns out three nouns, which will say little to the unprepared reader. Let's then give a definition of arrogance and arrogance. Since these qualities are almost synonymous, we can dispense with establishing the meaning of one of the concepts, let it be "arrogance". Its meaning is as follows: "Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant." In this case, it is possible to establish the meaning of the definition of "arrogance" only by referring to the corresponding adjective, but even it does not give an intelligible answer. We will close the explanatory dictionary and formulate it ourselves: "A man who directly or indirectly places himself above others on some basis or quality" is considered haughty.

Pride is a similar concept. For example, one person manages a Mercedes, the other is a Zhiguli. Of course, the former is arrogant towards the second and thinks about the following: "On a bucket with bolts and nuts drives ...". You can at the end add some obscene word for completeness, but only mentally. There's no need to swear for nothing, without any need. Now this is arrogance as it is.

Synonyms

Our favorite method is to use the analogues for clarification, so that the new knowledge will follow from the old. So, as a rule, it is easier and better to absorb the material. Let's not neglect it, this time. So:

• importance;
• arrogance;
• Ambition;
• pride;
• Conceit;
• arrogance;
• star fever;
• megalomania;
• arrogance;
• bombast;
• Pathos;
• swagger.

Here such a many-sided arrogance. Synonyms are probably well known to the reader. The list needs only one obvious addition: by "megalomania" here is meant not an actual mental illness, but only an overestimated self-esteem.

Causes of Stellar Disease

They, as the reader understands, are completely different for different "patients". For example, at school a person can become conceited from what the teacher has praised him. When a child is in school, he does not yet know that he will have to pass the main exams without indulgence and retake, so school assessments and the praise of authoritative adults mean something. But let us, perhaps, first give a list of what a man can be proud of and why his head may become dizzy:

1. From achievements.
2. From the position in society, the origin.
3. From the sudden drop of luck on his part in the form of money or power.

We have already quite successfully considered the first point. Teachers' favorites easily and easily catch an asterisk. If one of the readers has come across this phenomenon, they know how disgusting such people are. This once again proves that in the arrogance (the meaning of the word we explore) there is nothing attractive. But, as a rule, subjects of this kind admire only their reflection in the mirror and do not see themselves from the outside. But let's leave it.

Swanky "aristocrats"

Now it's rather funny to remember about blood and ancestry, but still it's relevant, and the cream of the society is now, first of all, those who could earn a lot. In this sense, the picture "Princess on Beans" (1997) seems to be still fresh. The main character has a surname and some seemingly moral values, if they were not, then the character's ordeals ended quickly, there would be no conflict.

In the heroine of Elena Safronova, we absolutely do not see arrogance (the meaning has long been known, we analyze the reasons). The thing is that she does not have money, and if she were, and she was brought up in luxury, then perhaps we would see a completely different picture.

But Pupkov from the movie is not quite spoiled "new Russian". But in general, a well-known story: power and money are corrupted, and it is not known what harms a person from a moral point of view. The protagonist retained humanity, and in fact there were and are completely different examples of the rich who became intoxicated with permissiveness. There is plenty of pride in him. The reader himself can recall "worthy" examples of the behavior of such people if the yellow press flips through.

"Lucky Case" (1994): two ways to respond to sudden luck

It also happens that arrogance is present in man from the very beginning. God knows why. For example, all the fault is bad parenting: parents tell the child that he is the smartest, handsome. Of course, a person must grow in an atmosphere of love, but praise is still necessary for something, and not just for that.

The plot of the film is as follows. Policeman Charlie wins 4 million dollars in the lottery, but the piquancy of the situation is that on the eve he promised the waitress to give half of the winnings on the ticket, since he did not have money to tip.

His wife, literally crazed with happiness and suffering from arrogance since birth, arranges an honest spousal spacing. The subject of the scandal is the moral qualities of the servant of law and order. And Charlie does not even know what to do with this kind of money, because he has got used to living modestly, that is, his luck has not turned his head.

Of course, we can draw certain conclusions about people who suffer from excessive conceit, but we refrain from such conclusions and let the reader work on their own. Our task is the meaning of the word "arrogance". There was a final chord.

Is it possible to avoid conceit?

Not that it is possible, but also it is necessary. Life is changeable: today man is on horseback, and tomorrow he is already defeated in the next battle. No, not that he died, but just the situation and the situation changed, and those who were yesterday in the forefront are pushed aside by fate. It must be remembered that well-being, like failures, is not eternal, and everything can end literally in one day. Therefore, it is worthwhile to remain affable, kind, not to be rude to anyone, and do not brag about anything. Destiny selects in the first place what a person values most.
