Arrogance is death to the soul according to the Torah. The sages say letting go of arrogance will bring you back to life or give you an entirely new life. For example: The Pharaoh died because of his arrogance against God stating in 5:2, “Who is the Lord, that I should hearken to His voice?”. Rabbi Nechunia explains Pharaoh had died from Exodus 9:15, in which God told Moses to tell Pharaoh, “For now I had put forth my hand, and smitten you.”. Pharaoh was given a new life after he asked God to forgive him for his arrogance/rebellion against Gd saying in Exodus 15:11; “Who is like You, O Lord, among the mighty?”. There's a life an individual can live, where they make up their own rules of how to live life . There's also a life where an individual humbly accepts God's commandments upon themselves. Justin Bieber says in his song, one life; "only have one life and I only wanna live it with you"....
