It is rightly said that there are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. ' Good pride represents our dignity and self respect . ' Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.
The worst kind of superiority complex is when someone treat orphans badly. Being an orphan is not by choice instead its a condition that divine God put on some people. Orphans need special care and attention as they lost their dear ones who were supposed to look after them. Pride should be practiced in positive rather than negative way. It shouldn't be converted into feeling of being superior over others.
Nazia Jamal's story " https://www.afsanay.com/urdu-novels/realistic-urdu-novels/tahi-dast-6" exactly presented the picture of a family falling a prey to superiority complex and their cruel and underestimating conduct for an orphan girl.
She was mistreated badly by all the family members with whom she was living. she wasn't fed well, dressed well and wasn't provided with proper education that every person on earth deserves.
Instead of being loved, she was treated like a servant who has to do all the tasks from household to serving everyone in the house only because she didn't have her parents to nurture her. The story presents before us an abominable picture of the society and the carefree conduct of people towards such deserving beings.
