(By 33rd Degree Freemason – Todd E. Creason) – Arrogance is empty–it’s based on nothing but a bloated sense of self-importance. Confidence on the other hand is based on knowledge, skill, and the willingness to act.
When you are confident, you are free. When you are arrogant, you are a prisoner to yourself.

Arrogance stops mental and emotional growth. This person knows everything and is unable to learn from new information. The value of a cup of tea is in its emptiness (Chinese proverb).
