Continuing the theme of the fight against arrogance, I want to tell you a little about the person who was initially good but ended up being very arrogant. Let's call him Badu.
A little story about the Badu:
Badu came from poor families. He was only able to continue school up to level 3 Diploma and for further work to help educate his sister. He migrated to the big city and in the city and indirect jobs. To meet the daily needs, Badu worked as kernet public transportation, sometimes singing. When he still did not work, the father died so that Badu had to help his family to send their younger siblings.
Long story short, Badu finally got a job in a foreign company and began to have an established life, until finally Badu has his own company. Through the hard work of one of his staff, the Badu has won major projects and life-changed completely. Badu become rich in a short time. Debts paid off and he has a lot of money.
Wealth obtained suddenly, makes Badu turned into a snob. He argued that money is everything, and can buy all he wants.
From a little story above, there is one important point, namely: pride appears after Badu become rich. How can it be explained?
First:
Look past the Badu who come from poor families.
Second:
Si Badu has a lot of money that can be used to fulfill the desire that had not previously been able to materialize.
Third:
Because a lot of money and the Badu could fulfill the desire that never materialized earlier, appeared vanity. Vanity which originally comes from pride can fulfill his desire, and pride gradually turned into a vanity.
Why Pride can turn into arrogance?
Pride is a form of satisfaction of being able to fulfill something that previously could not be fulfilled. For example: the Abu want to buy a car, but the income is not sufficient and then finally able to buy it gets a big bonus; this creates a sense of pride. Then, because of pride can buy a car, the Abu wanted to show his success to others. He began to show his success to his brothers, and eventually to others. He tells how he was finally able to buy a car. Pride and with a desire to show his success to others is the beginning of pride.
Still do not understand the above explanation? Look forward to the next story.
