It is because the thing we hold so dear (pride) is insulted! Such as our intellectual, beauty, religion.

Jesus is supposed to be the only one thing we hold most dear! However when Jesus is insulted, we don't get hurt/angry.

There are several reasons:
1. We have the knowledge that Jesus is rejected by most people ( eg: rejected in Nazareth (cornerstone); light can't be one with darkness; carry the cross and follow Him)

2. We forgive "Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."-Luke 23:34 )

3. When our identity is rejected, God is rejected ! And God is the One to take revenge ONLY.
“He that heareth you, heareth Me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me, despiseth Him that sent Me.” (Luke 10: 13-16)
Romans 12:19 "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord."

If that's the case , we aren't supposed to feel hurt if we set the right pride!
(May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal 6:14)

To conclude, the daily practice should be:
Proverb 13:10 "Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice."
( pride in Christ won't breeds quarrels as explained above)
