Nothing is absolute but relative...
Envy,greed,pride these are among seven sins which are responsible for miserable life. The similarity in these three sins is that they are associated with relative availability of resources (materialistic in most cases) e.g in case of envy ,what makes one jealous is the availability of some particular resources to some other which is desperately demanded by him. And what he wants is simply some thing among all things which he doesn't have and thus begins the chain of insatiable desires.
Greed can also be supported by same arguments.
However pride has some different scenario. It is associated with immaturity and lack of broad mindness. What the person with pride thinks that he has something which many don't have(here many the majority of which he is a part) but what he is unable to realize is that in the same time he doesn't have many things which many other have.
We can broadly classify life in three parts- professional, personal and social. To be at top position in all spheres simultaneously at every time is exceptional. We have compromise some spheres in order to excel in some and that to for limited time.
Thus except exceptional one all of us have some compromised sphere and in that sphere many others are better than us. Thus being proudy in nature is just lack of maturity.
