Being humble - a key to eternity

[beren]

Annemirri ,

consider that everything that you own in life, eat through whole life time, touch ,breathe is NOT yours.Everything is made from earth materials who were created by Creator. That is a fact solid as a rock.

Even very soul that is you is not yours.

You as I and everyone were created.

We own nothing.

Very air we breathe is a gift.
Then how can you claim that you know or try to receive all love and not give it back?

If you only demand your rights and demand love and respect, will you receive that freely ?
Will someone respect you and love you freely or by fear?

I think being humble is recognizing that we do not know all and that we need to be taught from Creator who knows all.

I would be a fool if I had a chance to stand before God and say that I know better than him!

Oh my God,

when did I start taking all love and give nothing back ?
When did that happen?

Am I such a loveless person ?

Do I demand love and respect ?

I do not need anyone else's love, I love myself, and that is enough.

and did I say that I know better than GOD ?

If I had a God to believe in,

I would be proud of myself that I got all the way there...

I do not believe in that kind of Creator system.

It is like seeing the glass half full or half empty.

I see it half full, of all the things I have already experienced and learned...

annemirri, you would really resonate with michael tsarion's work. Unfortunately his forum is no more, or at least he is only talking to himself on it.

Never heard of him, and not even interested in finding out.

Why should I study someone else's work ?

That is a personal question, and I have already got warnings...
but, if you ask what does a non- humble person do for a living...

I cleaned toilets when I moved to UK! a few years ago...

Sorry if you misunderstood me, I was not asking what do you do for living.

I was thinking ,what do you do in life when you consider that you know all?

And for the record, no job is shameful ,only ego makes someone think that.

P.S.
What warnings?

What warnings?

(Warning...I put one question on a post as that makes it easier to understand, one thing a time,
and that some find annoying, as there are too many posts by one person, but I like it that way, and I will keep on doing it...
I try to keep things neat, and organized.)

And I am no more cleaning toilets, quite an experience, and for the record,
I have studied and worked in all kind of places and positions with all sort of people in different countries...

I have always been quite curious about life and people here on Planet Earth.

And, it is is mean, even childish, to say that I consider knowing all.
Keep things in perspective.

What do I do in life ? I live and experience it.

Take one moment at a time.

and here is the good news :

humility cannot be learned

it's rather a question of un-learning

we are born humble

it's our birthright

we just have to re-member what we are

I have never had issues to own things,
gather material things around me, as nothing lasts forever...

if someone needed or wanted something that I had or have,
I have and will give it away. (yes, sadly people still tend to be quite greedy,
I have been left a few times just with my backbag and clothes on. ,
but that is life.)

but, I am part of all this, my body is made of " earth material",
how is that supposed to make me humble ?

or do you mean that I should feel small ?
