OK... (is this another thread here?)
Then ignorance is something we will always possess, just to different extents as we learn more things? I could see that if that is how you look at it. I still ain't sure about arrogance and stubborness though. First of all those are very subjective qualities, one man's arrogance is a next man's assertiveness, one woman's stubborness is a next woman's sense of focus. Assuming that you mean these words in a negative connotation... as exagerrated distortions of natural qualities, like how greed is a distortion of hunger and lust is a distortion of natural sexuality... then really what is innate in all of us would be the basic natural qualities (instinct to assert oneself in one's personal space/ abilility to concentrate on a goal and follow it through to the end) rather than their distortions (arrogance/stubborness)... right?
Also, I have met some people who don't seem very arrogant or stubborn at all... but then again, it's subjective, and it ain't like I can read them people's thoughts...
