Do you think you are too special kind of creature on this earth and that makes you arrogant?

Question

Do you think you are too special kind of creature on this earth and without knowing yourself it makes you arrogant and nasty to others?Do you think you need to improve your behavior?

Answer 1

here's a thought- just the fact that you've even considered that you might be looked at as 'arrogant' means that likely you're not. it's a wise person who considers how he may appear to other people, and even considers improvements he might make to change. i applaud you for that.

yet i do not believe it's negative or arrogant to think of ourselves as 'special', in the sense that we are all individuals. trouble comes when we begin to think we are 'more special' than our brothers. and i think on some level, we know when that starts to happen. that is when we become concerned and ask ourselves these questions.

and yes, i feel i need to improve my behavior. i sometimes allow myself the benefits of the doubt i do not give others. i could be more committed and less obtuse. i can talk all day but i'm not the best listener. and if that makes me come off as nasty and arrogant, i apologize.

thank you for your question about 'perspective'.

Answer 2

Are you talking about the human race?

We are not creatures we are human beings given power over the earth, as keepers of the earth, we are not special enough because look at the mess we've created, and the glory of the creation is striving to live through all the garbage in the earth, the chemical waste dumping, the pollution of our waters by gas and oil fueled motors, our air by the same gases through air planes, do we really need to have all of this junk on the planet, when will there ever be enough so that the rest of the earth can stop trembling at what is coming next, in destruction of air and fauna.

Got a little carried away there but you did ask.
