On the Virtue of Arrogance

There is a common prejudice against the vice of pride, indeed, this is further extended into snobisme and arrogance, a sentiment of the masses that is most unwarranted. Indeed, I believe that not only does arrogance add a certain charm to an erstwhile amusing society, insouciant arrogance would, played against that other evil of inverse-arrogance, be as virtue is when measured with vice.

The nature of arrogance is that one is aware of a certain, quality inherent in one's impeccable nature that by its very virtue, must weigh upon the person versed in his exalted birthright such that it becomes an utmost duty to dispense with it upon an impoverished public. This is not to say that impoverish must by regard, only refer to the poor for that is vulgar. No, here we speak of the materially unenlightened, the spiritually starved, the people devoid of light.

Yes, bring forth arrogance I say for it is a beautiful attribute when found in those that carries it with the lightness of gaiety. The strict adherence to etiquette I should add, is not arrogance. It is merely good sense and ought to be found in each and every person. Arrogance is beautiful in that the person need be completely ignorant of his pride. Lucifer fell for pride but ah, what a beauty he was to behold even as he was cast into hell. Oh for shame, how the descent must have scarred his face if not marr the perfection of his pride.

We shall of course, speak now of the other arrogance which in all due candour, quite upsets me. It is the arrogance of the ugly, the destiture, the declasse who would shun those who shuns them and declaim it to the world. This is of course, far worse, when found in persons of otherwise high stature who masquerading modesty and humility, act in hypocrisy as they ingratiate themselves with those that must not be tolerated.

Yes, to display knowledge fair content of what you have is one thing, but to sneer at the society who would otherwise receive you in preference for the huddled commons is nothing but an act of disgrace.

C'est tout.
