The arrogance of Western society

[Angrboda]

I am a student of east and west. I find no fundamental difference in levels of arrogance. It just takes different forms in different places.


(I have an experienced Buddhist who has abandoned the path of intellectualism who thinks he can answer my deep questions, simply, because he "thinks" he's more experienced than I am. I am tired and lost patience this evening, and told him bluntly, thank you for offering to answer my questions, but you do not have the answers. "Arrogance is not a revolutionary virtue / and only liberates the mad bulldozers of the mind / to level the ground." ~ Marge Piercy, Song Of The Fucked Duck)
