Haughty is a great word. You can almost picture a person with an aristocratic nose stuck high in the air. I have to admit, sometimes haughty people amuse me. Donald Trump is one of my favorites. Everything he has is always the best and he is always the smartest person he knows. Most of the time I am looking at whatever he is so prideful of and thinking “That is the most hideous thing I have ever seen.” Yet, he persists in thinking everyone is envious of him.
In Raising a Humble Child, the Donald Trumps of the world have consequences of which they probably aren’t even aware. Frankly, I suspect the arrogant Donald Trump is in some ways a character he plays. On the other hand, he does have a path of broken marriages and bankruptcies in his past. Most of the time arrogant people don’t do nearly as well in life as they could have had they been humble. Their arrogance keeps them from learning from others wiser than them. Especially God.
