Arrogance is everywhere and basically drains compassion. Arrogance that your beliefs are superior. Arrogance that you are too good to learn anything else. Arrogance that out of all the living beings in this universe only you don't have to obey the laws set forth by nature. Sometimes instead of listening to your own voice and thoughts, one should try and hear out others' voices. I have not met a person too wise to listen. If your beliefs are true you do not need to explain. If you are right in your ways then you will firmly stand against temptation. The temptation to pursue your own rightness. The trouble with being right and wrong is, that there is always doubt. When you process things too much in your head, you lose all the other tools including your heart. For those who are ruled by the mind, they lack compassion so they do not care. We should balance ourselves between our aspects because without all of them working in together the fear holds us. If you look around, existence is full of fear, temptation, and other worldly vices permitted to working their ways into our lives because we ignore parts of ourselves. Instead of being full of yourself, why not learn to respect the will of others. Of course this is within reason. I am not saying abandon all of reason to follow someone blindly, but the respect that is required to work things out without having to resort to violence and hatred. I know I am babbling on though. The wise know that they are wise and need not impose it on others only the immature believe they are wise simply by saying they are. Live by your beliefs of love and not by setting rules to be repeated and learned but never heeded.
