“Arrogance is founded in weakness and feeds on insecurity.”
Arrogance is marked by defensiveness, denial, entitlement, insecurity, and even violence. Arrogance is to “have or reveal an exaggerated sense of one’s own importance or abilities.” Needless to say, such posturing poses problems in relationships, and to feeling equally important and valuable.
In order for arrogance to have a chance at being tamed, it needs to be recognized, even expressed, preferably without the violence. Only by expressing my arrogance can I learn how I am exaggerated, or flat out wrong, and thereby stand the chance to become more humble, which allows me to see reality more clearly.
