Pride, as in not having shame, is fine.  But so many people seem to get swept up in naive arrogance.  Some people are so sure that they are right – when they don’t know any different.

So are they... so sure of certain things

Yes, it's easy to be sure when you don't know any better.  But, then you realize any extra knowledge is threatening, and that leads to a whole nother set of problems. It's really kinda sad.
