Pride in the Greek means to think more highly of yourself, than perhaps you should. It's a bit like hyperinflation, you are asking for more than your are worth. Hyperinflation is when prices increase so rapidly that currency loses value. Pride also encapsulates the idea of one appearing above others, which denotes looking down on others.
Love thinks less of self, and more of others. Love thinks you are worth more than me. Love doesn't look down on people, it looks up and out to people. Pride is antithetical to love. If you've got pride, check it in for love.
[I Corinthians 13:4]
