Many folks describe arrogant people as jerks, idiots, creeps, and much worse. A person that treats you like you are stupid and says the only right way is their way – even when it clearly is not – is arrogant. They try to make up for their own lack of confidence by hammering away at others.

Your level of self-confidence is not something you are born with, though it is influenced by the circumstances into which you were born and grew up.

When you forgive, it does not mean that you have submitted, it simply means that you have made a choice to stop bearing any grudge.

The heart is where the journey of forgiveness begins.

Blaming other people inevitably makes us blame ourselves because if we are pointing the finger at someone, practically, we are pointing it at ourselves as well.

Locking ourselves in the situation where we wish for sympathy and want to be looked at as the aggrieved party normally makes us powerless.

You are the custodian of your own happiness. What other people say, do or think does not create a basis for your happiness. It is you who decides your own happiness, just like forgiveness.

In the process of forgiveness, you can only control your own actions and decisions.

Do the forgiveness and carry on going forward. Leave the worrying to the other person. Eat what is on your plate and leave the rest to them.
