arrogance is somewhat of a "necessity" to be "great" in life.
it's the perpetual "flame" behind any "good thinker" -- you have to take a stance for what you think : because if you're not arrogant then you get trampled on by every low-life piece of scum who can open his or her mouth. - it is easy to find loopholes or holes or 'where something isnt right' in an argument -but to come up with an arguement entirely of one's own volition - that takes talent. einstein himself said that great minds would find opposition from stupid people ( or something along those lines i dont exactly care to remember the quote itself ) - and with your own logic - we can state "there being no good or bad" that arrogance is always tainted with a sense of "bad" - so who is to say that arrogance - the concept of accepting that one is right and others are wrong - is a bad thing - ( i have to be careful here as i might start sounding like a bloody OBJECTIONIST - Ayn Rand and her followers think much like this ) -- in any event : we'll just say this :

History remembers the arrogant sons-of-biatches.

and the purpose of life is to perpetuate ME into a higher state of being - you only exist to further perpetuate my rise into that higher state - everyone is meaningless but me - there is the purpose of life.

hahaha... i'm still on chapter fourteen.
to tell you the truth i just typed out a bunch of crap to infuse the board with a sense of "something to debate"... go figure.
