How on earth is this random assortment of words simplifying anything??

Maybe try again tomorrow.

You seriously claim to have "grown out of" judging others?

Arrogance is thinking you can see yourself, your thoughts, words and deeds objectively.

Honesty is admitting that you have a subjective image of yourself.

Let's simplify further: Arrogance can be and often is easily wounded [vibrating emotionally]; humility based on virtue can't.


Alright, I've tried again. I still think my definition is understandable whereas your definition makes no sense in its current form. Should I try again tomorrow?

GKR, I do agree that your two sentences accurately describe human viewpoint which represents arrogance as compared with divine viewpoint. My sentence which represents an application was inappropriate in context and therefore unnecessary.

Edit: Thank you.

I wasn't comparing anything with a "divine viewpoint", whatever that means.

I simply meant that it is arrogant to think you can see yourself objectively. How you view yourself and others is a subjective matter.

Arrogance can be and often is easily wounded [vibrating emotionally]; humility based on virtue can't.

Regardless, can you explain this sentence to this silly Dutchman who's first language is not English? Maybe it's such a high level use of the English language that it flies right over my head.

- Why is arrogance often easily wounded?
- What does "vibrating emotionally" mean here (or anywhere else for that matter) and why is it between these things: "[]" and not between regular brackets?
- What is "humility based on virtue"?
- Why can't "humility based on virtue" be easily wounded?

Thank you.

As a native English speaker I can say with confidence that what you are struggling with is not a
'high level use' of English... It's total gibberish..

However, I don't know how your keyboards are arranged, but on the standard English British
keyboard the [] brackets don't require holding down shift to type.

[ and ] are easier.

I wasn't being completely serious... I know my English is more than good enough to distinguish high level English from, as you say, gibberish.

Yes, on my keyboard the shift key is also required for brackets. I'm not a big fan of this "its easr 2 type so lets skp som ot keyz" mentality. Very off topic, but I always puke a little bit when I see "I would of done that" instead of "I would have done that".

Certainly, GB doesn't shy away from typing a lot, so using the shift key seems like a small effort.

Some, unfortunately, nit pick bracket vs. parenthesis peer approval correctness in lieu of focusing objectively on meaning.
Disappointing, GKR. I had hoped to resume with your earnest questions. Maybe Thursday you'll come home to your senses.

I use [ ] instead of ( ) in order to avoid unintended emoticons or formatting.

Plus, you don't have to hold Shift to get these [] .

LOL, apparently I walked right into GKR's comment there. So I like things that help me type more efficiently. Sue me.

People "sue" when they're treated unfairly or wronged. Some feel this way about God. In court what would they demand?

Sounds fair enough to me, though I was not aware of the distinction.

However, given that, in what way does the phrase "vibrating emotionally" help to explain the sentence "Arrogance can be and often is easily wounded"?

Grampy Bobby uses verbosity [and other gimmicks] to try to disguise his inability to engage genuinely and he repeatedly tries to depict disagreement with him as "emotional".

Penguin, thanks for this objective question; it's deserving of an answer which I'll provide on Friday or before.
