PRIDE V/S INTELLIGENCE

If asked a soldier to make a sacrifice for the pride of the motherland against saving his life in a War situation, I guess Pride would imprint a tough stand. And if the same element is compared to an individual who desire to buy a posh car against his tough financial stand It will be irrational to  replace Intelligence with pride.

In a nutshell  " Can Pride substitute Intelligence "..???????

Amazingly whole economy revolves  around this fact that in case rational mind constitutes intelligence  as the base then why good  of luxury pulls the concept of demand and supply. Let's take a simple look at this. When luxury is unnecessarily added as pride for one, ignoring intelligence it not  only plague other's finance but also throttle the balance of the economy. Eurozone crisis is nothing but a victim of this Barbarism where they weighted pride heavier then the intelligence. Knowing their inefficient tax collection system yet they promoted high public spending and event like Olympics at high cost budgets. Look at the situation now whole of the west is in financial whirlpool. I guess in these cases Pride was definitely for a shorter run but the pain remained for a longer run.

Not only at macro level to an extent roots of this comparison boils down to individual cases. Every day we  come across so many of them where in a  matter of pride riding in Posh car , dining in luxurious restaurants, branded clothes show off etc. takes a toll over intelligence.I am  definitely not against  the luxury as they are meant to satisfy human wants. But fetching it at the cost of intelligence is a definite irrational concept. Exchange of eye pooping dowries , Traditional animal sacrifices and various other customs like wasting food and other consumable products in water or plants etc. Should be analyzed  from the core of intelligence. Though pride marks its way here still adding little intelligence to it can help us spread more harmony and happiness.

To conclude maturity of prioritizing pride over intelligence is always backed by a noble cause. To quote an example some decision in our freedom struggle were of no brain but indeed they were there to safeguard our traditions, moral values and motherland. Your Pride should be a derivative of your intelligence not unawareness and Ignorance..
