Are you, by any chance, suggesting I need to change my life?

Yes Aemahegoat. Change your life. Humility never killed anybody. The price of milk at Sams club and Walmart might not be encouraging though.

Beautiful story. @Maka. Thanks for sharing. I like these kinds of stories.

Did you get to read this one on the guy who built Goldman Sachs? I shared it once before but here it is again in case you missed it.

Humility can never be about what you do while with others but rather, it is about knowing who you are and who others are. If you aren't the other then you can't be humble even if you dress in rags and bows on every greeting.

But discover your identity with the other and you'll have no qualms in washing their feet. Humility is love expressing itself.

Let me rephrase.

You have never met me. The little that you know about me is what I have posted here.

Does what I have posted in the Virtual Republic portray me as a person of humility or not?

Conversely, the little that I seen in your posts does not portray a person of humility. Is that a good thing or bad thing?

I will not find humility in you upon our meeting. I will only see my pride.

And so will it be when I search for it in your posts!

But on the other hand, I may find it by searching for my pride in all that I do.

So, It is a good thing. And it becomes a matter of 'changing my life'.
