"Empty barrel makes the loudest noise"
This ancient proverb came to mind when I see people trying to impress those who are also trying to impress them. Insecurity in life, is man's greatest undoing. It has sent a lot of people to penury in their struggle to be what they are not. It has turned several saints to monsters by corrupting their minds inorder to fit into the status quo of the creme de la creme(elites) in the society. It has turned good citizens into corrupt leaders because they want the best for themselves and family.
Being arrogant or proud, like a friend of mine said, is a product of low self-esteem which is caused by this demon of insecurity. Every evil vices you can think of is connected to insecurity. Everyone of us have this little demon inside of us but being aware of it is the first step to conquer it.
