And I found something, I think Julie sent it to me.
And she kind of had several points in what she considered to be humble and to live a life of humility.
And I think it's definitely...
An incredibly important virtue, and not all of us, myself included, are always successful at adhering to this.
Our world, at least in Western society, is incredibly self-absorbed.
A lot of self-importance, a lot about identity and possessions and socioeconomic status.
I'm by no way a historian, but I definitely think her humanitarian efforts and perspective on the world is something that I thought was worth sharing and bringing to our attention, the incredibly fractured world that we live in, even here in the United States, uh, the amount of division and, and, um, discrimination and segregation and, and hatred is just, it permeates our, our society.
Uh, so humility, I thought is, you know, it's a word we, we, we toss around.
Um, but you know, we kind of slow our thought processes down.
Um, let's, so let's revisit some of these.
So this is, uh, as always, I made notes for this one, but now the hard part is being able to read my writing.
These are not mine.
Uh, first is, uh, Speak as little as possible about yourself.
That, I think, is a really important point because a lot of people like to talk about themselves, like to talk about what they have, what they've accomplished, where they're going on vacation.
And you probably know somebody that you have a conversation with, and you can't get a word in edgewise, and it's just a dialogue of one-upsmanship.
But speaking as little about ourselves, I think the caveat I would say, we're directly asked.
And I think it's important to – well, I think some of the other points will kind of lead into what I was going to say.
Number two, keep busy with your own affairs and not the affairs of others.
So those of us who like to gossip, we have magazines, we have the Enquirer, we have tabloids, we have Jerry Springer and Maury Povich, and we have a reality television podcast.
You know, mindset in our society, but but, you know, keeping busy with our own affairs and we all have our own paths to take our own choices and opportunities and chances.
And sometimes when people are in a state of distress, they they will deflect.
And, you know, get into the affairs of other people and we'll put their noses in places that they don't belong.
