Deceit and arrogance

Arrogance.  That quality where you think you know more than someone else.  That quality where you are smug in your actions.  That quality where you really don't care about, nor feel the need to acknowledge another's feelings, point of view, etc.

Deceit.  That quality where you think you can get away with something by omission or saying something different than what is actually going on.  That quality where you really don't care about, nor feel the need to acknowledge another's feelings, point of view, etc. 

To me, arrogance is a deadly sin, and ranks right up there with deceit.  In so many ways, arrogance is another form of deceit.  And deceit is never the right direction to head into.

Deceit and arrogance...what a deadly combination.  You can be proud of who you are, proud of your accomplishments, proud of what you are doing now, but does that ever mean you should belittle someone else?  Deceit, too, follows this path.

If you can not be truthful with someone else, why bother.  If you feel the need to omit rather than be honest, regardless of how it may hurt the other person, the pain you cause in the long run is far worse.  Why bother creating a dangerous web of lies when truth is easier to take in.

Those who lie, those who cheat others out of their feelings, those that are arrogant, here is the warning.  NO ONE deserves to be treated in such a slighted way.  No one deserves to be led on down your path of deceit.  No one wants to be led down the path that will only end in disaster.  And once your deceit is revealed, you really only serve to look like the monster you really are.  A person who should not see the light of day within the world of the person you hurt.
