While "pride" can be used as a noun to refer to a specific feeling of satisfaction or self-esteem, it can also be used as an abstract noun to represent the general concept of pride itself.
For example:
* Concrete: "She felt a surge of pride when her son graduated." (Here, pride refers to a specific feeling)
* Abstract: "Pride is a powerful emotion that can both motivate and destroy." (Here, pride refers to the general concept of pride)
