The Spire of Pride and Envy is an analogy I made up, Your position on the spire is where you're at artistically. Depending on what you focus on, being those who are on higher floors or lower floors then where you are, You either suffer from Pride: You look down at other people on the sprire and gain confidence for where you are compared to them, however too much Pride can make you grow ignorant to advice and constrictive criticism from others to help you, and you never bother looking up at those who are better then you to find a reason to try and improve. On the flip side, You can suffer from Envy: You constantly look up at those who are more skilled then you in your eyes, and your envy inspires you to take after those who you look up towards, However too much Envy can lead you to lose confidence in your own artwork due to comparing yourself to those above you, never looking down to see how far you've come, and those who might envy you the same way you envy others.
