First thing first, one do not have an answer for the topic question, but rather a fight within one’s brain on that issue, with one’s previous experience.
We see that some people realized their arrogance at some point of their life, hence they watch out for it. Others might be more lenient to born without much arrogance; still others born with so much arrogance they can never see past it. Discounting those that never see past their arrogance, one wants to look at those who would see past their arrogance at some point in their life, at least, they claimed.
We know that we can never rate ourselves correctly. Despite one saying one understand about one’s arrogance, it’s another story whether one reduce it to a stage where it’s majority non-arrogance; as always, easier said than done. Also, one notices that, despite one would push through arrogance so one could listen to other people’s points of view that’re so different from one, it’s quite difficult because humans have feelings (except probably psychopaths and their equivalents); and it makes one feeling difficult when something challenged, with fight or flight responses. Yet, noticing fight or flight response as first step, suppressing it (or whatever you do to it to minimize its influence) and finish considering other people’s points of view allow one to take that into account, try to find prove and disprove of that view, and mesh it into one’s view and see how they work together. Ultimately, one wouldn’t want extreme, but a more “center” viewpoint.
Yet, in other aspects, one seems not to push past arrogance, perhaps due to strong feelings and existential risk that it poses, that triggers one to fight for it, even if one’s wrong. It’s usually when one used to experience something for a prolonged period of time, manage to do stuffs to get out of it, and it feels really scary to get back into that situation, therefore all oppositions must be eliminated at all costs!
I wonder, oh, I wonder… do we ever get out of our arrogance?
