Begging for Love? What About Pride?
Begging for Love?
When it comes to love, the conversation often turns toward pride—how much is too much, and when does pride get in the way of truly loving someone?
In my opinion, if you truly love someone, then there should be no hesitation in keeping them close, chasing after them, and even begging them to stay.
After all, love is about vulnerability, not ego.
So, where does pride fit into this equation?
For me, pride has no place in genuine love.
What is pride anyway?
Pride is not something born from love; it is something that distances us from it.
Pride is a “Luci” thing—Lucifer’s way of separating us from our true, soft-hearted selves.
Pride is the voice that whispers in our ear, telling us to choose ego over love, to protect our hearts with walls, when in reality, those walls only keep us further from what we desire most.
1. Love and Vulnerability
True Love Requires Vulnerability:
Real love asks us to be vulnerable, to open our hearts fully to another person.
Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s the strength to show our most genuine selves, with all our flaws, emotions, and desires.
When you truly love someone, pride becomes insignificant.
You are willing to chase them, fight for them, and even beg for them to stay because losing them is more painful than losing your pride.
Pride Keeps Us Closed:
On the other hand, pride builds walls.
It convinces us that it’s better to protect ourselves, to avoid showing too much emotion, or to never be seen as “desperate.”
But what is wrong with showing how much someone means to you?
Begging for love doesn’t make you weak or less than; it makes you human.
Pride is what stops you from experiencing the depth of love, and that is what ultimately causes loss.
2. There Is No Place for Pride in Love
Pride vs. Love:
Love is about connection, and pride is about separation.
When you love someone, there is no room for pride because pride keeps us from reaching out, from making amends, and from being fully present in the relationship.
Pride is the voice that tells you not to text them first, not to show how much you care, not to let them know that they are the most important person in your life.
But love?
Love tells you to put all of that aside and be real.
Pride as a Barrier:
Pride becomes a barrier to intimacy.
It’s the part of you that resists vulnerability, the part that says, “I don’t need them” or “I won’t beg”.
But begging, chasing, and fighting for love isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength—of the ability to recognize that love is worth more than the temporary satisfaction of holding onto pride.
Pride comes from fear of rejection, but love requires risking that rejection for the possibility of deeper connection.
3. Pride: The Whisper of Lucifer
Pride’s Dark Origins:
Pride is not a human trait that comes from the heart.
Pride is a whisper from Lucifer, the fallen angel who let pride separate him from God.
In many traditions, Lucifer’s fall was driven by pride—by the belief that he was too great to serve, too important to bow.
And now, pride continues to act as a whisper from Satan, keeping us from the things that matter most—love, connection, and vulnerability.
Pride as a Tool of Division:
Lucifer’s pride created division between him and the divine, and in the same way, pride can create division between humans who love each other.
It is the whisper that says, “Don’t forgive them” or “Don’t let them know how much you care”.
It tells you that maintaining an image or saving face is more important than love itself.
But love doesn’t care about appearances.
4. Love Is Humility, Not Pride
Humility in Love:
Love is about humility—the humility to admit when we are wrong, to ask for forgiveness, and to beg for the love that matters to us.
It takes courage to put pride aside and let love lead the way.
When you truly love someone, you recognize that your ego, your fear of rejection, or your desire to appear strong shouldn’t matter.
What matters is the person you love and the relationship you want to build.
Begging for Love Isn’t Weakness:
There is no shame in begging for love, in asking someone to stay, or in fighting for a relationship.
Society may tell us that begging is a sign of weakness, but in reality, it’s a sign of someone who knows what they want and is willing to be open about it.
Love requires effort—it’s not always smooth or easy, and sometimes it means putting your pride aside to fight for what matters.
5. What Happens When You Let Go of Pride?
True Freedom in Love:
Letting go of pride in love is liberating.
It allows you to love more fully, to express yourself without fear, and to experience the depths of intimacy that only come when you are truly open.
Pride keeps you locked in a prison of your own making, while love sets you free.
When you stop worrying about looking weak or desperate, you are free to act in the way that truly reflects your heart.
Stronger, Deeper Connections:
By letting go of pride, you open the door to stronger, more meaningful connections.
People are drawn to vulnerability and honesty, not arrogance or emotional distance.
When you show that you are willing to fight for love, to put aside your pride, and to beg for what matters, you create a bond that is based on truth and genuine affection.
6. Love Is Not About Pride, But About Devotion
Devotion Over Ego:
In the end, love is about devotion. It’s about showing up for someone, even when it’s hard, and putting your heart on the line, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Pride is the enemy of devotion because it places your own ego above the relationship.
When you let go of pride, you are able to fully devote yourself to the one you love, and that is where true love flourishes.
Pride Diminishes Love:
Pride diminishes the potential for deep, lasting love.
It keeps relationships shallow and transactional, rather than emotional and connected.
Love, on the other hand, elevates both people involved.
It pushes them to be their best selves and allows them to grow together, without the barrier of ego.
Pride limits love; humility expands it.
Conclusion: Love Boldly, Without Pride
When it comes to love, pride has no place.
Pride is a barrier, a tool of separation, and a whisper from Lucifer meant to keep us from the connections we crave.
Love is about vulnerability, humility, and devotion.
It requires us to put aside our ego and fight for the people we care about, even if that means chasing them, begging them, or showing them just how much they mean to us.
If you love someone, don’t let pride get in the way.
There is no shame in expressing your love fully, in fighting for what matters most, and in begging for the love you deserve.
After all, pride is Luci’s game, not yours.
True love is about having a soft heart, free of pride and full of devotion.
