\u201eDon’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?\u201d (Ecclesiastes 7:16).<\/p>\n
Moral arrogance<\/strong> is a little known concept, but with a meaning that deserves to be taken into account.<\/p>\n \u201eMoral arrogance involves truly believing that one’s own moral stand or judgment is the only correct option regarding a controversial issue, even though others consider differing moral decisions or judgments to be morally acceptable\u201d[1]<\/sup><\/span>.<\/p>\n In life we meet various cases of moral disagreement. These are valuable opportunities for our maturity as persons able to make connections and make decisions. But in order to respect the others\u2019 freedom of choice or of conscience, it takes an important dose of wisdom, so that our moral judgment does not turn into moral impertinence \u00a0–\u00a0 \u201eI impose my decision no matter if the others want this or not; I am the only one who thinks in the right way – thus I will be their strength and brains\u201d.<\/p>\n Every individual is important! But the moral arrogant (man or woman) ignores people’s diversity of own thinking and diversity of consciousness strengthening.<\/p>\n The moral arrogant <\/strong>is an extremely rigid and inflexible person, generalizing\u00a0his own decision and arguments. But when he (or she) knows inwards that he\/she might be wrong (but he\/she can no longer step back), the moral arrogant \u00a0uses a dishonest trick: he tries to replace the ‘absolute morality’ of God with a “moral relativity”, applicable to his own case; he states that for a controversial issue\u00a0 –\u00a0 from which the moral arrogant may find it difficult to be percieved as an honest persons\u00a0 –\u00a0 God has, in fact, 1000 responses, which are derived from variable moral principles (which is not confirmed by the Bible!).<\/p>\n\n\t\t
