I'm not a fan of pride. I'm a huge fan of gratitude though. I'm not a fan of anything driven by egotism even if it feels nice, really.

I agree with this. Which is why I feel sad when there are some sorts of Christians who feel that they need to feel ashamed of being a "sinner" and they call that humility.
I'm aware you're not one of those Christians though.
Well, we should feel ashamed for our wrong doings. And acknowledging that and feeling remorse for it, is humility.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
