7 Deadly Sins: ARROGANCE

PRIDE is not a sin, ARROGANCE is.
When someone, after working hard and smart produces something Innovative and Creative and puts it out there into the world, there’s PRIDE in such action. Why is that a sin?  Arrogance is!  The constant search for the silver bullet or the shortcut to avoid the good old fashioned hard work in order to get-rich-quick (GREED), that is the sin of ARROGANCE.
The wanting to bypass years of training and experimentation with a sense of entitlement, of having it all right here, right now, that is the sin of ARROGANCE .
The archetypal eye represents awareness of the observer, who can’t help but weep while witnessing the arrogant race to nowhere.
