Miserliness takes you no where. When death takes us and moves us on, our wealth stays behind for others to wrangle over and spend.
If we're able to look into a heart filled with malice. We'll see envy, desire to compete, insecurity, manipulation, lack of forgiving others etc.
Arrogance is a character and an attribute of the soul. Arrogance is simply the belief that you are superior to all others.
