...love is not...arrogant or rude. (1 Corinthians 13:4-5)
According to Merriam-Webster Online, to be arrogant is to "exaggerate one's own worth or importance." There are many ways this can play out. We may convionce ourselves that what we're doing is more important than what our children want us to do. We may assume our way of doing something is the way others should do it.
Sometimes we practice a form of cultural arrogance. A lot of Americans are guilty of this. There's nothing wrong with patriotism to a certain extent, but some of us think that the American way is always the right way. It seems to me that many Americans don't even realize that there are other approaches to living out there.
