The Paradox of Discovery

I made an interesting discovery today, not a pleasant one but an interesting one. I am well aware that one of my chief faults is that of arrogance but I never realized how bad it was. I mean it's always hard because you never see yourself in action. However after a discussion with someone else I realized it. Why, because they were worse than I. It took being disgusted with someone else to realize who bad I myself am. Mine is not the everyday arrogance of my person hood but of thought and knowledge. When faced with a like minded person I got to see how strong it was and how stupid. I am not a stupid person nor am I with out knowledge yet I take it a step beyond where I can safely tread. That is foolish. I know what I know, and I can safely make a certain amount of deductions logically but what need have I to go further? One can argue anything if one wants so why start? Say your piece then listen to the other side. Oh ya and you don't have to be right. Okay the first part I'm good at, the second part I'm learning. I may be better than I once was but I realize that is selective, when attacked I revert. Dumb, very dumb, embarrassing and annoying. Seriously you'd think I'd learn to act a little more maturely. Oh well I'll work on it.
