Arrogance Certainly Never Pays (267)

It Pays with Humiliation

Well arrogance does pay, but only with humiliation. In fact the price for being arrogant is humiliation.

We think in the moment that we are above being humiliated though later on down the track something happens beyond our control and we get humiliated.

We can get sick, family or friends can get sick or die, we can lose our job, someone can crash into us and we can humiliated by someone superior to us. You know there are always people above us, always.

Arrogance Costs

Arrogance really has a high price, we can be arrogant but know that it costs and either very soon or a little while down the track we will be charged and the currency in which we will be charged with will be humiliation.

In other words when we are arrogant we run up a charge against our dignity. We may have a lot of dignity and so we can afford certain degrees of arrogance but if we have little dignity, the charge of arrogance against our dignity can be quite high, meaning we suffer humiliation quite painfully.

Cause of Arrogance is Ignorance of our Real Condition

When we are arrogant we forget our short comings, our past failures, we forget that we hurt, that we are also hurt, that we have weaknesses to and that we may not be any better being in the same situation. Overall we forget to put ourselves in their shows, we basically forget that we are the same or have been the same or will be the same in the future. 

Conclusion

Be really careful not to be arrogant because it will hurt later and being arrogant shows our selfishness and our ignorance of the truth and that truth is that we are all one. We are the same or have been the same at one point or will be the same at one point in the future.
