"Humility doesn't mean thinking less of yourself; it means thinking of yourself less."
Oh and how hard it seems for people nowadays to think of themselves less.
But what a joy it is to do so, because the smiles you can light up on faces blaze way beyond what you can fathom glowing on your own face. The unravelling of the world as you realize that you are not the epicenter... does that not excite some of you to give more and take less?
When you accept and embrace the truth that you are a pixel, a cell, a letter... whatever you want to liken it to... then your troubles seem to fade because you're not the only one having them, the world seems more fair to you because you stop comparing yourself to she-who-is-beside-you, and contentment fills you up inside because jealousy, greed, vanity and all those nasty broths spill over and out.
Why do some people think that the world revolves around them, that it exists to please them, to comfort them, to satisfy and to serve them? Take it all as a bonus I say, and then spin the world around those you love.
