arrogance of man

arrogance of man is a defect
what you see is what you get
they say pride comes before the fall
some can not see this at all

pride in accomplishments
pride in family
pride in self
are all good attributes
unless others are treated inferior
never looking beyond their exterior

we are all equal under gods eyes
and we all will one day die
be kind to one another
and not let arrogance
cause decay
it was never meant to be that way

Being too proud of yourself is a defect, as the poem Arrogance of Man puts it. But this is fairly true. When it is thought trough, one can see that this is indeed quite true. When one is so proud, they can't even look around them to see the potential problems which could arise.

This poem also states that
"pride in accomplishments
pride in family
pride in self
are all good attributes
unless others are treated inferior
never looking beyond their exterior". This means that the so long as others are not being treated as less than your self, go right ahead and have pride: pride in this way is good.
