Good pride, bad pride

Pride is like money. It has no meaning if it is not qualified. So, in a rare foray into the philosophical realm of morality, I am going to state today, that there is good pride and bad pride. Much like there is good money and bad money.
Good pride is when it costs you something very tangible, thought not always materialistic, to have pride. When a sacrifice is involved to be proud then, that pride is good.
Bad pride is when being proud costs you nothing and, as my own experience testifies, ends up costing or hurting someone else.
