People with lots of pride and arrogance are generally ignored in our society. Pride and arrogance are generally considered negative traits because they can hinder personal growth, damage relationships, and lead to isolation. Pride can lead to overconfidence and poor decision-making, as individuals may overestimate their abilities and underestimate risks. Whereas, Arrogant individuals may be unwilling to listen to advice or consider alternative perspectives. Our Sanskrit too have similar outlook towards these two negative traits. It says :
जरा रूपं हरति हि धैर्यमाशा मृत्युः प्राणान् धर्मचर्यामसूया |
कामो ह्रियं वृत्तमनार्यसेवा क्रोधः श्रियं सर्वमेवाSभिमानः ||
Jaraa roopam harati hi dhairyamaashaa mrutyuh praanaan dharmacharyaamasooyaa.
Kaamo hriyam vruttamanaarysevaa krodhah shriyam sarvamevaabhimaanah.
Jaraa = old age.
Roopam = beaurty.
Harati = takes away.
Dhairymaashaa = dhairyam + aashaa.
Dhairya = patience.
Aashaa = hope.
Mrutyuh = death.
Praanaan = breath of life .
Dharmacharyamasooya = Dharmacharyaam + asooyaa.
Dharmacharyaa = living with religious morality.
Asooyaa = not being envious.
Kaamo = sexual indulgence.
Hryam = mind
Vruttam = job, profession.
Anaarya = an ill mannered person.
Seva = service.
Krodha = anger.
Shriyam = prosperity, happiness.
Sarvamevaa = every thing.
Hi = surely.
Abhimaana = pride, arrogance.
i.e. Old age takes away the beauty of a person, In the same way patience takes away hope, death takes away the breath of life, envy goes away by observing religious austerity, Peace of mind is lost by over indulgence in sex, a job is lost being in service of an ill mannered person, prosperity and happiness by always being angry, and every thing is lost by being very proud and arrogant.
It highlights, that people with these negatively traits may soon experince their downfall. Pride and arrogance can contribute to conflict, social isolation, and even destructive behaviors. It is too beautiful noted that, a healthy sense of self-esteem is beneficial, pride and arrogance, when taken to extremes, can be detrimental to personal growth, relationships, and overall well-being. Pride and arrogance create a barrier to personal growth, healthy relationships, and sound judgment. They can also lead to a distorted view of oneself and the world, ultimately hindering one's potential for happiness and fulfillment.
This is why people were warned of their these behavior. A timely action would definitely save them, but most of the time they did not listen and ultimately ends up spoiling everything.
