Arrogant Man

All too often arrogance accompanies strength (organizational strength), and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of raw unbridled power must always be accompanied by moral choice.
When one expresses love, strangely their love is not extraordinarily arrogant or irrational. But the moment they express their displeasure (even once) they are irrational and arrogant, as if their worldview counts for nothing.
It's as when God expressed his displeasure at the Prophet (p) for ignoring the one who was blind...was God arrogant? Was God's displeasure so TOTAL that the Prophet's magnanimous character traits then counted for nothing over one incident?
And the Prophet (p) gracious as he was did express displeasure on several occasions that demanded it. All in the "reaction" that determines what we're made of...I wonder when the Prophet (p) was angry, WHAT WAS HE MADE OF?
It's good to know that were God to leave the non-arrogant ones on the earth there will be NONE. So I have some work, much work, to do...to head to that elusive goal of PERFECTION...knowing fully well it's God's mercy and that alone that brings such.
So an arrogant and irrational man sits like Buddha in his office cell, an innocent man in a living hell, his thoughts clanging like a church bell, from the extraordinary heights he FELL...
