Why does humility matter?
« on: November 09, 2010, 05:15:45 PM »
by Erik Wesner

“When they’re not around you or me, the Amish speak a language called Pennsylvania German. Demut is their word for humility. And Demut isn’t just for the Amish.

Why does humility matter?

It matters in business. It matters in life. It matters in our relationships.”

Why does humility matter?

Because, more often than not, its absence makes one a laughingstock...  :-X

what if, to some, being a laughingstock is something to take pride in?

Humility is saying...

they treated me like s***,
they mad immensely rude
and insulting comments to
me very regularly and
belittled everything
I worked hard on, and
belittled anything I
felt strongly about and
told me that I don't deserve
respect until I "earn some
money" and show it to them

she treated me like a fool,
knowing I care for her truly,
knowing that she could be
faithful to me if she tried,
she still preferred to like me
only when she had no way to
make me hers and when the
chance came and she COULD have
all she did was run away from
her own desire to be happy
and settle just for a
gluttonous barrage of very
unfulfilling sex

the world mocks me, by taking
what it can and then calling
what's left a nobody...
but only because it's the
self-defence of our era
to insult and hurt and abuse
anyone and everyone, whether
they do good or bad to you

but I don't mind, I know
what I want to do, I know what
my tasks are, my responsibilities,
I know my ambitions, I know my
limitations, I know that those
things are all outside me and
the anger I could feel can easily
stay outside me, because it is not
a world I am part of

And then you don't need to die
to inherit the earth, it's already
yours and yours to enjoy to the full

Hmm. Unya mapagarbohon siya tungod niini? One has to be more--or less--than human to be of such persuasion, I humanly think.    ;D
