• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person's main task in life - becoming a better person.

The confident person considers themselves pretty perfect too.
Not in the sense that there's nothing to improve - they find ways to do that daily. But in the sense that they know they are always 'good enough'. And that their worth isn't dependant upon how society (or even themselves) judges their behaviour and achievements.
It can look like arrogance. It isn't. The difference is this - the arrogant person thinks they're better than others; the confident one knows we are all perfect.
