I think we can all be accused of being haughty at times. The best biblical example that comes to my mind is in Mark 10: 35-45. James and John came to Jesus and said they wanted Jesus to do whatever they asked him to do. Jesus' answer was very simply, "what shall I do for you."
This is known by some as the Zebideeian plea (Zebibee was the father of John and James). The other disciples became angry when they heard what James and John had requested, but Jesus explained how in God's kingdom the greatest will be the servant.
Jesus' reply to James and John, "what shall I do for you?", provides the example Christians should try to follow.
By the way, Jesus could not do what James and John requested of him. My point is that James and John may have provided us the best example of haughtieness in history!!!
