pride
Achievement's warm glow
Pride is a uniquely human emotion of self-importance or accomplishment, sometimes regarded as good (civic pride, hometown pride), and regarded negatively when it is excessive and combined with prejudice (white pride, nationalistic pride).
If you pride yourself on something, you experience a feeling of pride for having done or endured it.
Your pride and joy is something you are particularly proud of.
The collective noun pride is used for a group of lions.
