Arrogant Braggadocio

Phil has an opinion on everything.
He likes to think and talk.
If you disagree, challenge him.
But tell how you got to your position.
He would be happy to change his mind.

“This is the mark of true humility,”
Said a friend. “I’m so glad,” Phil replied.
“I think most people perceive
Arrogant braggadocio instead.”

It is interesting to consider that
Humility is not insecurity,
Nor silence or retreat.
Rather, willingness to listen,
And change.
