money, position, control, good looks, property, equipment, clothes, connections, results, promises, talents, intellect, success, age, experience, etc... can drive up our pride. and "pride goeth before destruction"(pr16:18). it is an auto-regulating device to keep characters in check.  because character is more important than attainment. a dead man doesn't have any pride. he doesn't hurt. you can kick his grave as much as you want but he will not complain.  the Bible says that we should die daily(1cor15:31).  but the Bible also says it is good to abound in good works(2cor9:8), and that we should do good especially to those who are of the faith (gal6:10). at times paul and peter have quarrels because their characters are not yet perfect.

"Sister White, personally, was very careful about expressing herself in any wise as to the advisability of ordaining women as gospel ministers. She has often spoken of the perils that such general practice would expose the church to by a gainsaying world; but as yet I have never seen from her pen any statement that would seem to encourage the formal and official ordination of women to the gospel ministry, to public labor such as is ordinarily expected of an ordained minister."{DG 255.2} https://egwwritings.org/?ref=en_DG.255.2
