ARROGANT and PROUD

Each religion and all the spiritual teachings essentially always started from self control and curbed the lust that on the end was to try how in order to be able to avoid the conceited feeling that was the source from all the attitudes that not all could be accepted by the other person. As for heart illnesses that must be improved from the behavior or the characteristics someone was in part: lazy, the liar, greedy, arrogant, over proud feeling, snobbish, conceited, jealous, envy, cruel, the grumpy person, revenge, hatred and so on.

When someone could overcome the conceited, arrogant, over confident and snobbish then more than 80 % from the heart illness/ character could be improved. But precisely the attitude and the conceited and proud feeling himself almost joined and flowed in our blood without fully realized by us. This attitude or the over proud feeling that must be corrected was known by us afterwards with the strong will.

ARROGANT and PROUD

The arrogant and proud feeling is rather difficult to be recognized and realized. Many people who thought himself not arrogant and felt that he is friendly and always had a humble attitude so as to feel that he was not conceited or arrogant. Arrogant often was interpreted as someone who did not want to greet or speak with the other person; someone who exaggerated himself. In fact the arrogant and proud person or amazed to himself not only that. Someone who was arrogant always felt himself greater and more than the other person. He walked with the erect head and luxurious clothes to show his wealth to the other person. All his property including his house shows the status, the wealth and his position that were far more high-ranking from the other person. Anyone that met him must acknowledge his surplus, when not, he will try as much as possible to show his surplus or his goodness until the other person acknowledged and praised his surplus. That is the most difficult to being realized, the grand and proud feeling.

The most difficult to being realized was the grand feeling and was proud of all the surpluses or his goodness in a manner did not realize compared with the other person. So as he felt better all of his status from the other person. The proud feeling will automatically show the feeling proud and arrogant without really aware by him, it only can be felt by the other person around him. The superior feeling, when it is not quickly overcome may grow and develop like the virus that will damage our system of the mind harmony.
