Caesar has ample information to ascertain there is a viable threat against his life, so why does he not heed these warnings?
It’s because of pride. He thinks he’s untouchable. He thinks that his decrees carry the force of god.
How are we like Caesar? Do we listen those who are “beneath” us or do we think we’re too good to listen to the advice of our students, our colleagues, and others? If so, we may be setting ourselves up for a huge downfall, hopefully nobody’s going to stab you, but we may be setting ourselves up for a metaphorical stab in the back.
