How does sacrifice influence/impact pride?
I have heard the phrase swallow your pride a lot in my life. I am a very proud person and sometimes i have to admit i let my pride get in the way of things, important things. Like when your fighting with a sibling, doesn't matter what for, your blood, and neither of you wants to say sorry. I think its pride that sometimes has to be sacrificed in certain situations. Like in the book when Juans mother Margarita, knew her family was starving and had to make a choice. She chose to put her pride aside and beg for her and her children. For their survival, and yes it hurt Juan but even though they're both hurt and embarrassed does that mean in the end he doesn't love her the same. If not more. Are they still the same family with that sacrifice she had to make for their survival. Of course they are. And just like when me and my brother fight i know in the end hes my brother and i love him and even if i think im right, i will swallow my pride and do the right thing. Which is tell him i love him and he the best big brother a girl could have. They love hearing that lol.

I'd like to comment further on your point that pride does have a big impact in someone's life because it makes them act differently and makes them sometimes even act selfish. I know what you mean when you talk about the fighting with the siblings because i have a lot of them and that tends to happen a lot as well. No one ever wants to lose or be wrong. Pride sometimes plays a bigger role in someone and sometimes takes over in a situation like when you said you and your brother would get in a fight. It's all just in the moment that pride takes over.
