BDBD is Proverb 16:18

Pride and a haughty spirit are the same; an over-rated opinion of one’s self. Hidden and silent pride is the belief that we have control over things that no human can control. A reality of human existence that the proud ignores are vast and subtle weaknesses we all possess. The haughty falsely believe that if we convince ourselves we have an ability, then we will master it. Like sheep a haughty spirit is unaware of true dangers and afraid of things that are not a danger.

Logically this proverb is always fulfilled because the proud and haughty spirit eventually is trapped by a true danger that they believed they could overcome. No one comes to their aid because everyone loves to see a bragging arrogant get what is coming to them. We enjoy seeing them brought down to size and secretly hope they are pushed even lower.

The way of humility is better. Not a false humility. But a realization of limitations of the human experience.
