Arrogance which is the expansion of self – at least the perception of Grandeur, which is what makes us happy – which is why we are happy when we get things… particularly things we think make us "greater" is of course an illusion and not a very good one – the flip side which is sadness, which is a contraction of self, which is why we are sad when we lose things… including affecting our dignity is also not a very good thing – the ultimate is to live with the knowledge- that you have been chosen by God! the mission is infinite!
