Is arrogance good or bad?
Sometimes it’s seen as a strength. We commonly refer to strong leaders with romantic notions of walking through a crowd with quiet arrogance. It’s seen as a sign of confidence, of someone on top of their game, provided it is not unjustified.
But deep down, it’s not one of those terms I want to be associated with. It is one of those terms that has negative connotations.
“The truest characters of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance.” ~ Samuel Butler
Why is it seen considered a negative trait?
Mark Twain said it simply, but in a manner that required great thought.
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
