Here goes...

I always felt like wanting to be right all the time. I would get very angry and do all kinds of manipulative things until I was proven right.

When I was proven right I will humiliate them in front of lots of people and repeatedly tell them how right I was with a focus on how wrong they were.

I also love to annoy people with facts and common misconceptions. I'd show them facts to 'prove' that everything they had believed in was false.

I wanted to be known as the know-it-all, from science, economics, to spiritually, etc...there were times when I even quoted Steve to impress others

I'd despised people who were lousier than me. I hated people who showed approval seeking while ironically those were the actions I was taking myself.

I seemed to have double standards: I can do those things but not others. I was right: and only I could be right.

I hated people who were better than me. It made me feel somewhat inadequate on not "god-like"...

There...nice to get things out...

Anyway, thanks Steve for showing be about conscious living and the concept of 'oneness' with others. Though I still struggle with arrogant thoughts at times, I'm finally starting to see a way out
