Okay, today's expression is very good.
Hubris. Hubris, H -u -b -r -i -s.
Ah, what a good word.
Hubris is a word that describes somebody who is too proud or too self -confident.
They think, that person thinks he is the greatest.
That person thinks he is the most powerful, the most handsome.
He God. Yes those people have hubris.
They say things that are so unbelievable.
They do things that are so unbelievable.
A normal person couldn't do that.
How can they do that?
Because they have hubris.
And the perfect example is in the dialogue.
Check it out. How can politicians keep spending money so easily?
hubris. But don't they know this is not a good thing?
They think our tax money is their money.
Yup, politicians so many politicians are full of hubris.
They are very arrogant.
They have too much pride.
They have too much self -confidence.
Having pride is great.
Being self -confident is wonderful but when you have too much and you think you're a God you think you are smarter than everybody else you think you are better than everybody else then you have hubris and hubris is not a good thing why why do we elect these people why do people with hubris become politicians.
That's a problem. It's a problem.
We need to stop that.
We need to recognize these people.
But many people with hubris are very good liars.
Yeah they know how to lie.

Yeah? Anybody around you at your company, in your family?
