I guess I just want people to realize that you need arrogance to stand up against insuperable odds, and you need humility to stop your arrogance from driving you insane. And to keep asking people to constantly be humble is an affront to what we are as humans. I really don’t grasp it. You need that deep humility, 100%. But so many people need arrogance in order to take on the challenges…that if you took the world seriously you’d never take on those challenges, if you were just humble.
