To know yourself is, above all, to know what one lacks. It is to measure oneself against Truth, and not the other way around. The first product of self-knowledge is humility.*
Brother Dave

As far as nature is concerned, we are all followers.**
Alan Lightman

Why settle for more when we can settle for
less? –
When I know what I lack and
what I am not, I come upon my truth, and,
humbled,
I become a noticer, a learner;
As Seth Godin points out for those who believe they are
more than they truly are:
The thunderstorm doesn’t know we exist …
The weather would be there with or without you.^

Nature is always a great place for growing humility, also
Death and mortality are worth a pondering,
Out of which respect for the dignity of every person and
each living creature grows.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.^^
