Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/, also hybris, from ancient Greek ὕ????
means, in a modern context, extreme pride or self-confidence. In its ancient Greek context, it typically describes violent behavior rather than an attitude. The adjectival form of the noun hubris is "hubristic". Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group, although the group the offender belongs to may unintentionally suffer consequences from the wrongful act. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments or capabilities.
As one might expect, hubris is not necessarily associated with high self-esteem but with highly fluctuating or variable self-esteem, and a gap between inflated self perception and a more modest reality.
Excessive feelings of hubris have a tendency to create conflict, sometimes terminating close relationships; which has led it to be understood as one of the few emotions with no clear positive or adaptive function (Rhodwalt, et al.).
Hubris is generally considered a sin in world religions.
or as Obama puts it, "Republican Policies from the 80s", is NOT why I joined the Democratic
Party over 50 years ago. I FOUGHT hard AGAINST "Moderate Republican Policies" in the 80s, and I'm not going to timidly start supporting these same policies now.

I haven't changed. What passes for the Democratic Party today has changed.
