Pride

Pride is a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired. While it can be a normal feeling for one to have, it can be dangerous when it becomes a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc. In that sense, pride is one of the seven deadly sins.

The Smurfs struggle with pride in various ways. Brainy deals with his self-importance as the most intelligent Smurf among his peers. Hefty and Handy deal with pride in their own particular skills and strengths when they are in conflict with each other. Vanity deals with his vanity as the most handsome Smurf among his peers.
