Pride vs. Happiness

Published:
2.6K Views

Description

On one hand, I agree that the concept of racial/sexuality/nationality/etc pride to be damn silly. Like many others, I think that it's pointless to be proud of something you were born with or a place you were born in. You had no choice to be born black, white, gay, straight, American, or European, so why act like it's some great achievement?

However, I also don't think people should be ashamed of what they were born with. I've heard that the point of gay pride is that despite the rampant hate and homophobia that still exists today, LGBT people want to express that they're not ashamed of what they are. That is a good thing. Yet, some of them can give off a feeling of unwarranted self-importance. That's counter to their message.

Don't be ashamed of who or what you are, but don't act like it's an achievement. Find balance and be happy with yourself.
