There is nothing wrong with being self sufficient and leading a quiet and tranquil life. Pride comes in when we fail to recognize God's work in our lives and instead glorify our own doings. Pride, in its essence, makes us god and leaves out God Almighty. Realization of our sin and shortcomings should lead us to humbly seek the Savior Jesus Christ for forgiveness of our prideful works and ways.
