Recently I've experienced a bit of arrogance from someone close to me. It angers to me to every extent to know that this person will NEVER understand certain issues that are important to me. It is one thing to have your own opinion...but it is another thing completely when you are unable and unwilling to see things from another person's perspective.

Talking to someone who has an arrogance about certain issues is extremely difficult because you cannot talk to them normally...everything takes effort - because they are not open-minded. After a while, it's difficult to talk to them at all.

Arrogance does diminish wisdom.. if you are not open to other peoples' situations and perspectives, you will never learn more than what you already know.
