What are the best ways to fight arrogance?

Why do you need to fight arrogance? Is it because you dislike this behavior in other people? Then why you dislike it? Has this to do with yourself? Is it your self-image you need to defend and you feel offended?
You haven't thought about this? So what is it you are doing when you meet an arrogant person? You are just reacting. Right? Might it be that you need this provocation? Until you respond maybe in a different way? What could this be?
Being aware of your own condition and being in the position of not fighting anything you don't like on the outside or other people, you might open yourself for what shows up and then you will see what is there without wanting it in a specific way. Then you might see the other person and understand their behavior, being able to look behind and recognizing the need of this person. Then being in the position of a real healer, who has healed himself and now is able to heal others.
Isn't this a better option than to fight and eliminate the other?

No, do not fight arrogance with arrogance. Like they say, if you fight fire with fire, you'll only end up getting burned. My advise to fight arrogance is to be either indifferent, or just ignore them. Usually arrogance is a person's way of trying to show off.

Why fight it?
Arrogance is a beautiful and most difficult area of the psyche that people leave to the way side. Arrogance is a beautiful, beautiful thing..
And thoes who "dislike" arrogance, its simply because they have little to no self confidance. Which is a real shame.

I love the first stanza, but I find stanza two confusing and stanza three flat. I think such a long intro requires either a longer extro or a more dramatic one.

Feed the person's arrogance until they choke themselves to death. Let them feel ontop of the world. Let them feel as if they have all of the credit in the world(that they truly don't deserve). In the end, the false pride will be their own downfall.
They say the best revenge is to live well, so ignore the person and live your own life! Who cares about another person's arrogance unless it interferes with your own life and goals? Feed the arrogance if you have to......whilst building yourself up and living your own life....

Why not kill em with kindness in return. I think arrogance needs a good spoonful of annoying cheer.

No. Just ignore if possible.
