Is that strictly true?
Lets say that you are proud of someone.
Does that apply?

Children and the work and or knowledge are things that you can be proud of. However, even with these, pride can lead to a mindset of privilege either of others(children) or self( through knowledge given by God, as all is).
Pride can lead to clouding of judgement and misguided direction that is not under God. All these things are from greed. We must be meek and humble to attain and use the things given to us by God for God's cause and direction.

The definition of greed is self centered.
Pride can be used with other people.

Good point. I definitely meant pride in a personal sense I guess. Pride can skew judgement, unless it is directed towards God, as praise and thanks, ultimately.
 
A word I know,
six letters it contains,
subtract just one,
and twelve you'll find, remain...

... what is the word?

A man sat in his tent, when his camel complained that it was too cold and asked if it could lay its head in the tent to keep warm - the manr obliged.


Minutes passed and the camel once again spoke, telling its owner that if it could put some of its torso in the tent it will be warmer... once again the man obliged.


Minutes passed again and the camel asked if it could bring its hind legs in too, to keep warmer as the night was getting colder, so the man obliged once again.


Now, the tent became cramped and the camel pushed the owner out.


Who is the camel?

Greed and, or the wants of he flesh of man seem to fit this one again. Want grows with acquisition.
 
Almost there pops... it's all about acquisition... getting close.

Clue: the who can also be a what.

Clue: it is not a human nor animal.

Dozens? It is a six lettered word, and when you remove one letter, there are twelve. It was confusing as to twelve what. It has to be a word that has the same meaning as twelve, and dozen is that word.

Dozens minus the letter s, results in twelve.
