You're too proud. Just give it up already. We're all the same on the inside. You don't have anything to be proud of.
The only thing that makes you different from other people is you were born with privilege and they weren't. Your IQ, your work ethic, your self-discipline, your drive and your passion have nothing to do with it.
You were just born privileged and should have nothing to be proud of, like the rest of all the sad sacks you see every day.
Just because you drive a nice car that you paid for, just because you have an above average IQ, just because you have more than two weeks pay in the bank, just because you dress well, just because you don't waste your money on dope, just because you don't waste your money on lottery tickets, just because you don't blame others for your station in life, just because you don't expect handouts, just because you would never take government welfare, just because you don't spend time with lesser human beings, just because everything you have you (and your family) worked for, just because you have ideals, just because you aren't covered in tattoos and piercings, just because you make plans for the future and follow through with them, just because you have high standards for people, just because you pay your taxes, just because you aren't a fat slob, just because you don't have bastard children, just because you don't have unkempt hair and facial hair, just because you aren't a minority who deserves success more than you, just because you hold a steady job or self-employed position, just because you accomplish whatever you put your mind to, just because you don't tolerate bullshit, just because you're a winner DOES NOT MAKE YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE!
So get over yourself already and come and spend time with us normal people. Those of us that aren't so high and mighty and don't want to work for what we have.
Just give it up already.
Give up that foolish pride and come and live like us animals.
It is better to live without pride, like us degenerate filth who respect everybody equally. Don't you see how wrong your pride is?
Amen.
Better to be alone at the top than to feel accepted at the bottom.
Hahaha this is classic Victor. So true. A lot of people seem to have an issue with people who carry themselves with confidence and self-respect.
Victor, what do you think about tattoos? I personally don’t understand why somebody who is not a drunken sailor would get a tattoo. But why do you think that not being covered in tattoos is something to be proud of?
Very specifically this was aimed at the occupy wall street types. Hipsters. Today’s hippies. Self-haters who are covered in tats and piercings, dirty, unkempt hair and sloppy dress who think it’s a crime to be clean, confident and hold high standards. I care not whether one has tattoos or not.
Got ya.

I live in an area crawling with “Hipsters”. A hipster is nothing more than another form of white trash. They are not real men. I walk down the street and completely dominate their world. When I look them, in their eyes and address them (which is a privilege for them) they will put their hands in their pockets and assume a beta male position and start looking at concrete.
They are a filthy group of individuals that stink & are completely uneducated. In fact, just this afternoon, a couple of 28 year old boys were blocking the path of my BMW (I earned it through years of busting my ass in outside sales). They were riding their “Eco-friendly” (mean’s I’m a poor looser) bicycles and completely hindering traffic. I rolled down my window as I passed them saying, “Get out of my way boy”. Then drove past them. Well, the two dirt heads didn’t like this and gave me signals they wanted to fight. Sure… I thought. Once I pulled over, got out of my car with a suit on (not to mention I’m 265lbs) They were quickly apologetic. Typical Hippy trash. Week and feminine. I’m gonna go take a freezing shower, eat a steak, and shave with no shaving cream. If anyone doesn’t like that, tuff [email protected]
Nicely done, bro.
hahahaha this is awesome!
@Italian G, your full of yourself and a POS, you must really be proud of yourself for doing that huh, did it make you feel better? what did you get out of doing that, if anything you made yourself look just like they thought you were, an egotistical bafoon. Its people like you who don’t do anything with their life but yet think your better than everyone, what did they do wrong, how are they affecting your everyday life? theyre not, keep it moving and, STFU!
Hey Kevin,
Why you breakin’ on Italian G?
It makes you feel good to do that huh?
It’s people like you that’s why Italian G breaks on idiots riding their bicycles in the streets. Italian G is a winner. That Beemer needs the street more than hipsters on bikes. Apparently he handles his business instead of blocking the streets and sidewalks “occupying wallstreet.”
Kevin when you grow up, you too will break on loser riding bicycles in the Winners Circle.
More power to you Italian G.
The occupiers are whining because they listened to their moms and went for an expensive college loan and now that the party is over they are left holding their dicks in their hands, with no jobs, no cash, no property, no intellect, no values, no moral. Their self esteem is so low they would like everybody to join their collectivist, dope smoking, free for all utopia. They are a reflection of the dependent and entitled mentality which is prevalent nowadays. Fuck em.
hey that’s the only time you used sarcasm
People who work hard for what they want in life have nothing to be proud of, it’s absolutely true, whether this article was stated sarcastically or not. You can work your ass off and in the next split second find yourself on your death bed. Hard workers shouldn’t show complete disregard for sloths, sloths reap the karma of their actions, the wheel spins, if supposedly hard working “good men” look pass a weaker “slothy” entity, it doesn’t make him better, since his ill mannered, inhuman perception will come back to him. In the blink of an eye everything one works for can be incinerated, for we brought nothing into the world and can take nothing out of it. Everything is here merely for our amusement.
You’re on the wrong website
Go whine somewhere else
i don’t know it is pride or not but i can’t stand with the people who just want to show off and do shit talk. i don’t like to show off, i know you have it because you work for it but why the fuck they want to show off and piss me every time with their boring talk. i want to talk like normal but they never want me to act like this. they always want me to do he he he hi hi ha ha i like these things but i can’t do them all the time. it is kind of fault, i feel sometime guilty when i feel i am not like them but then i feel great oh dude at least i am not like them showing off and not talking shit all the time. please help me, i don’t what i am really suffering it is my pride or some other problem with me
This is my first time on this website, and I’m appalled at the comments above. The irony is while this topic is about foolish pride, all the critical comments above display foolish pride, even Victor’s. What makes any of us better than the hipsters, Wall Street businessmen, or people covered in tattoos?! NOTHING. We’re all equal and perfect in our own way.
Personally, I have achieved a very high degree of success and accolades and I’m naturally proud of them. Here’s the kicker though– I use my success and pride to change this world for the better and to be an example for others.
I have come to find that the vast majority of people suffer from low self-esteem, which in itself debilitates action. If more people became proud of who they are and realized their own intrinsic worth, this world would be a much different place. We were all put on this earth for a reason and for a short amount of time, and we all owe it to ourselves to be proud of who we are and to fully express ourselves and encourage that from others with respect.
The bullshit of trying to create self-esteem uber alles as if we are actually all “perfect” in our own right is for the weak who do not take action.
When I kept trying to find reasons to feel self-esteem during my younger and very much depressed days, all it did was keep me in a holding pattern where I never did anything of value to myself or society in general, but hey, I kept telling myself it was fine, I was “great just the way I was.”. And, the fact stands, I sucked at life, was a miserable fat a-hole, and mooches off people because I wasn’t willing to work for myself.
Now, at age 40, my self-esteem is built on a foundation of 17 years of hard work to build my companies, get in shape, and accomplish a whole shit load of good things since then. Having foolish pride and self-esteem when I was a loser almost killed me, it does people no favors to have an inflated ego when them live like crap. Nobody needs to feel like a god whe they’re just using it as an excuse to not be introspective and admit one’s flaws, it should develop naturally when you actually ACCOMPLISH things that give you reason to be proud.
Now, I can sit and be proud of what I have done because there is valid reason to do so. By propping up failures and losers to be proud of their lack of action is why we are forced to deal with an increasing amount of fat, worthless, estrogen-filled beta males who couldn’t throw a punch without missing their target by a mile. Fuck that, let the, wallow in their mediocrity, those who are meant to rise above the rest will do so, and we will continue to shake our heads at the “everybody is special and perfect!” gibberish that has been destroying real masculinity for far too long.
” If more people became proud of who they are and realized their own intrinsic worth, this world would be a much different place. We were all put on this earth for a reason and for a short amount of time, and we all owe it to ourselves to be proud of who we are and to fully express ourselves and encourage that from others with respect.”
I respectfully could not disagree with you more.
I see too many people, in the middle of the day, hanging out by the dozens.
I’ll bet every one of them is proud of themselves and has convinced themselves or their intrinsic worth. They have too much “intrinsic worth” to work a minimum wage job. Therefore they never developed the skill set needed to work a $10hr or $20hr job.
We live in a society that is WAY TOO COMFORTABLE with who they are and their intrinsic worth, which from a societal standpoint they contribute nothing and tax our resources, leaves them the living definition of worthless.
People with low self esteem who are not motivated to better themselves need a swift kick in the ass, not a free meal, free housing, and a free cell phone.
And by the way, those things aren’t free. WE PAY FOR THEM!!
FUCK!!
I’m on a rant and my fingers can’t keep up with my thoughts.
People need to strive for excellence and stop celebrating mediocrity.
you know why people hate the rich? why these hippies despise those who can afford $400 for a cheeseburger with gold leaf through it?
Because money in the bank is a sign of VALUE created. You only get paid when you do something of value for someone else (unless you’re a criminal).
Therefore, having more money means you are more valuable to society. Everyone knows this deep down, but they’ll never admit it
Great point, but I’m not sure if these dippy-hippies get that, even deep down. Talking to some online and listening to them makes you really question whether they have been lobotomized or not.
“You only get paid when you do something of value for someone else (unless you’re a criminal).”
I know people that truly believe the rich do nothing of value.
The rich are criminals BECAUSE they are rich.
Therefore, the only way to become rich is to steal from someone else.
That’s a sad damn commentary on our public education system.
Why don’t they TEACH our kids HOW to become rich?
How to add value?
Is it true that people who can’t DO, TEACH?
I almost had a heart attack when i started reading, then I realised what you had done here.
Great article,
Important article.
But I would like to here the non sarcastic version of “give up your foolish pride”
The fool is telling the man to give up RIGHTEOUS pride. And the truth is, the fool is the one with FOOLISH pride.
Righteous pride – I worked hard, I took responsibility, I appreciate a world where I can bring healthy things to myself, I am proud that I did myself good by getting that great care etc.
Foolish pride – “I say I am better than everyone else because I want to shit on parade of all the people who show me up by actually trying and changing their lives.
I don’t have to lift a finger to improve because I am so special and perfect. But I depend on that perception so I am terrified of challenging it with reality, failure would show I have to change and I am too in love with myself to do that.
i am bitter that the world doesn’t give me everything for nothing – don’t women know that I am such a little prince that they should be the ones approaching ME? How dare they (everyone) not give me everything without me having to lift a finger or even challenge myself?!”
Hey, what is wrong with facial hair?
You funny kid, check “La Legion” army in Spain…
…Pretty sure he meant unkempt facial hair.
Good one Vic,
Yup, The masses are asses!!!
