That is a high price to pay for arrogance. :-)

With all due respect, arrogance is what happens with many who can't do
as they say?

I reckon that is as good a definition of arrogance as any. You know
what Dizzy Dean used to say. "It ain't bragging if you done it."

Another definition of arrogance is doing something because simply
because you can, not because you should.

Still another component of arrogance is thinking that if you can, then
others cannot. Related is thinking that because you can do something,
that others who can't do that are less than you.

Arrogance is pride. It makes you constantly compare people to each
other, as if the worth of a man is dependent on your comparisons.
Arrogance tears down instead of building up. Arrogance says that no
matter what other people do, it isn't good enough, but no matter what
you do, no one has the right to criticize it. Arrogance hides mistakes
instead of correcting them. It uses authority to quash criticism
instead of to solve problems. Arrogance hides behind position, using
certificates, awards, and honors as a shield to protect yourself and a
weapon to crush others instead of as tools for learning and teaching.
Arrogance says that the opinions of others are worthless, unless they
happen to agree with you.

Arrogance is obsession with self, the rest be damned.
