the Lord Jesus says "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" now... what does it mean to be poor in spirit... I interpret that being poor in spirit is to be simple... humble and grateful... because being so... a person needs little to be happy...
On the other hand, an arrogant person... arrogant... self-centered... narcissistic with a lot of ego... needs a lot to be happy... always wants to be the center of attention... has high expectations and is always disappointed because no one can be the center of attention all the time...only children in their first years of life when they are vulnerable...
but later, as one grows, one has to dedicate oneself to serving others and God's creation... and of course being humble, grateful and simple, it is much easier to be happy serving others... one can feel in heaven ..
but if one's spirit is full of arrogance, pride, vanity, self-centeredness, serving God's creation is impossible... a punishment and it is not possible to inhabit the kingdom of heaven
