arrogance
Pam Sorooshian
I don't think real arrogance would allow for the CONSTANT self-examination
of your own motives and your own possible biases and your own weaknesses
and possible erroneous logic, etc., Sandra. And it wouldn't allow you to
keep making the point that you have to always consider the possibility that
NONE of this stuff matters, that it is all genetics and some of us just got
lucky in the gene pool.
Also -- arrogance always wants full credit and doesn't want other people
stealing their thunder. But you are always happy when you hear others
saying what you also are saying - whether they learned it from you or
elsewhere. It is the message that matters to you, not whether or not you,
yourself, are the messenger. That's not arrogance - that's committment to
something "bigger" than yourself.
