    Pride, arrogance, and self-centeredness are those nasty, all too common short comings many suffer from. They may have been learned from family or developed as a defense mechanism against society. Who knows for sure. However, the bottom line is that those who "think" themselves more intelligent usually aren't and it makes them very difficult to be around.
