Summary

This quote suggests that when someone becomes overly egoistic and considers themselves of utmost importance, they become blind to their own flaws and mistakes. As they inflate their self-worth, their sins or wrongdoings also grow in magnitude. It implies that arrogance prevents individuals from acknowledging their own shortcomings and, instead, exacerbates their negative actions. This quote highlights the correlation between having a self-centered mindset and the tendency to overlook one's own faults, which ultimately leads to a worsened moral character.
