From what I observed, Pride and Shame seem to be instinctive tools for motivation to go beyond reason. Both can be extremely positive and negative, depending on situation/person. I guess it's part of the ego-sphere? |

"I have gotten to a point where I do not feel proud about anything. This could be an exaggeration but I literally can not think in recent history that I felt proud rather than lucky or grateful."
what a bare and honest sentiment. i remember (and still sometimes) feeling that way. for several years actually. but it lead to certain actions (mostly inaction) and led to bland consequences/outcomes. i'm not sure how to reconcile this, because i know that free will doesn't exist and i don't think it's even an illusion at this point. yet i have to "believe" and "feel" as though i do have some control over my future which has led me to certain actions that yielded in consequences/outcomes worth experiencing.
as for shame/pride, if you want to view it from a different lens i highly recommend josh waitzkin's book "the art of learning." there is some good material but something specific i recall is about not having an ego to protect when competing/training. |

With no ego there is no humans.
It's in our nature to feel pride and shame based on the standard social constructs laid out for us when we were children.
