Hubris

“Anger, be now your song, immortal one,
Akhilleus’ anger, doomed and ruinous,
that caused the Akhainans loss on bitter loss…
Begin it when the two men first contending
broke with one another--
The Lord Marshal Agamemnon, Atreus’ son,
and Prince Akhilleus.”
(Homer, Illiad, Book 1, line 1, translated by Robert Fitzgerald, “Everyman’s Library”)
 

A humble man, a decent man, a man truly interested in his nation might, upon receiving near unanimous correction at the hands of the judiciary, take a moment and reconsider. Is there even a scintilla of a possibility he may be wrong and they may be right?

But not this man. Oh, no. It is all just a huge personal power-struggle for him. It is all ego, all ‘me,’ This man’s hubris knows no bounds and will not be restrained. This man's hubris-induced-anger is going to bring this nation to its knees--just as that Gadianton robber, Bannon, has planned and intends. This man and his crimes will make Richard Nixon look like a choir boy.

Hubris:
“a foolish amount of pride or confidence.” “Conceit,” “haughtiness,” “pride,” “self-importance,” “egotism,” “pomposity.” SEE: "that man."
