Arrogance is a type of tension. It is a holding, of a specific self image, of a specific contextual understanding. It is the result of fear.
And if I invoke the Satanic Triumvirate, then it is s threefold expression of fear/hostility and shame. And of course, shame fits best, doesn’t it?
And if we apply math by invoking Edward de Bono’s dictum that “arrogance is a mistake in the future”, then tension also—contextually inappropriate tension, to be clear—is also a mistake in the future.
It is also always s mistake now, using my definition of appropriate.
There is s pearl or two in there. As for me, I cast them everywhere, or try to. God will guide them.
