Here is what I am thinking. I have seen the thoughts and actions of arrogance in so many forms throughout my life that all of it's forms and manifestations are familiar. Not in one single instance can I say that arrogance has been magical. Never has it been something to be admired. It has been confused with confidence at times but arrogance itself has no magical quality. Humility on the other hand is almost always admired, it too can be confused with cowardice and other weakling analogies but humility itself is nothing if not gracious and inspiring. Here is why, when humility is engaged in a problem, regardless of the problem, unselfish traits come to bear on the problem. The premises have no ulterior motive therefore the conclusion is usually pure or close to it. Now that is magic when an outcome can be offered that has no ill intention. Most notably humility can be recognized by the appearance of sacrifice of some sort. When the focus of a solution has at it's core the ideal or principle of giving as opposed to taking, you can be assured that the proper intent is being forwarded. I am not superstitious or given to illusory mysticism, so therefore when I do sense a feel for something magical it is because somehow the Universe has allowed us to do something that is just right. That is how I perceive that the only common factor in every really good equational reasoning circumstance is humility. How do you know the heart of a man or woman? By their deeds. In looking at their deeds we will find that those who have the greatest peace of mind and inner happiness are those who have found humility through living their ideals and principles in real time. My life has little left to experience outside of external stimulation but one quantity that I can never satisfy is the internal emotion of being a part of a magical occurrence.
