Philoctetes has let his pride get in the way of being healed and in the way of making a great name for himself because of past betrayal. In my opinion he pretends to be unaware of the damage his pride is doing. He wants to remain unchanged and have everyone feel sorry for him. It doesn't look like he's learned a lesson or lost his pride, more like he swallowed his pride for this event and will soon regurgitate it and go about his life the same as before. Now "learning" that patience and prayer can be used to get him out of tough situations and to always fight, it gives off the illusion that he's made a change when he's saying goodbye to the land.
