When are we gonna learn to embrace humility and to forget arrogance in our society. When are we gonna learn to cherish the world we all living into.Can our world leaders be truly face humbleness in their sense of responsibilities and shake hands themselves instead of waving flags of their nation?

you have to understand they might not practice humility until they themsleves have been humbled it takes a very major crissis to hit so close tohome to ever even want to try and wake up and some people never do .. \nwe are living in times that people are wrapped up in themsleves and what they have to do to make their world turn but what it really does is turn us against us because we do not all agree or live by the same pricinples, we are living in times where there is loss of respect and hardly anyone  is standing up for what is right .. bono from u2 was nominated for nobel peace orize but then i saw him giving a speech in front of the president and his people and bono knows that the presidents tactics have been wrong but yet he still sat up there amonsgst them turning a blind eye just so he could say his speech and get more acclaim and more fame when really if it was a true peace maker would have tiold the president and his men the truth.\nthat they are all murderers and blood is one the rise daily and make it stop but they wont stop those murderous wheels from turning until they thenselves are faced with the humbling expericancing of it hitting their homes , until then i dont know if we ever will have peace on earth \nall you can do is save your own soul and be the best you can be and educate your freinds and families and be glad you dont live in war torn areas of suffering and injustice.

I agree with you.  It does shed a light on why we have to stick up for our own.  Have you read these books?\nThe Origins of Virtue: Human Instincts and the Evolution of Cooperation by Matt Ridley\n\nThe Science of Good and Evil: Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share, and Follow the Golden Rule by Michael Shermer

That is my hope.  Unless we examine the mistakes within our belief system and find new and better ways of relating to the rest of the world, we won't be able to live in peace and harmony.  Let's hope it will happen soon.

Boy, bungiebabe woke up on the wrong side of the political coin this morning, eh? Too bad about his approval rating, btw. Finally proves what people like me have been trying to tell you for years now: Little King George and his tyranny cannot be tolerated. It is about time that people start calling a spade a spade. Guess what, King George followers - The emperor has no clothes! \n\nSo keep bowing to his smirking, bobble-head approach to leadership. After all, isn't making others feel insignificant how you types manage to feel so good about yourselves?

Unfortunately in a world that promotes individualism, they leave the decision to be decent and courteous up to the individual.  Most ppl know in their hearts what is right and wrong (even without being taught) and most ppl know rather or not they are being rude.  Although, in some rare cases, rude ppl really just dont know they're being rude (usually due to upbringing or cultural differences)...Anyway....I dont think our standards have fallen...i dont know anyone who ENJOYS being disrespected.  However, i do believe we have failed ourselves and each other by allowing a busy schedule or our worry of "what others think" to disrupt our normal maintenance of good values and decency.\nSome ppl also use excuses to not be polite...."i've been hurt by so many already...im just gonna beat ppl to the punch and hurt them first or close them out so they cannot hurt me"....thoughts like that are prevailing high in America especially, now days.  Ppl are becoming more and more bitter or closed off due to hurt feelings or worst yet, vengeful feelings from past experiences.  Ppl of today, with their busy lives, find it quicker to close ppl out or hurt others to keep them away rather than spend a moment or two being kind.  We've become quite synical, critical and "closed", especially to ppl we do not know.\nDon't give up hope though...a lot of ppl still believe in manners and common courtesy...there are those that will be commonly corgeal and others that will go out of their way to make someone smile.  But you gotta take the good with the bad and try not to let the bad effect how you respond, while teaching the next generation to not get bitter...get better.\nkeep the faith in humanity...there's still some good out here :0)\nmarjenl72

Funny, there was this one guy 2,000 years ago who said love everyone, don't judge, and follow the Golden Rule. It's a shame that "leaders" don't listen to him anymore.

Mathew, Just relax, that could be part of your problem, you give too much importance to what other people think. I recommend get a dictionary and look up the word. HUMBLE.

Because Jesus was genuinely humble, little children were not afraid of him. Rather, they felt drawn to him. He for his part showed fondness for children and gave attention to them. (Mark 10:13-16) What was it about children that Jesus found so appealing? Certainly, they had desirable qualities that some of his adult disciples did not always display. It is a simple fact that little children view adults as being superior. You can see this by the many questions they ask. Yes, compared with many adults, children are more teachable and not as prone to pride. On one occasion, Jesus singled out a young child and said to His followers: “Unless you turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens.” He continued: “Whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one that is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.” (Matthew 18:3, 4) Jesus stated the rule: “Everyone that exalts himself will be humbled and he that humbles himself will be exalted.”—Luke 14:11; 18:14; Matthew 23:12.\n\n10 That truth raises important questions. Our prospect of gaining everlasting life is in part dependent on our cultivating genuine humility, but why do Christians sometimes find it difficult to be humble? Why is it a challenge for us to swallow our pride, so to speak, and react to trials with humility? And what will help us to succeed in cultivating genuine humility?—James 4:6, 10.

I wish I knew the answer to this myself. I grew up in the 70's and it was soooo different. It seems as if everybody today is in such a hurry, they disregard the feeling of other people. So many people treat others as if they are an object, simply in the way. It seems as if material things are what is important. Like if you accidentally pull out in front of somebody, their first inclination is to start cursing and flipping you off. they dont stop and think of the times, THEY pulled out in front of somebody. I think the whole friggin world needs to slow down and take a deep breath.

Well, you and I aren't mad for a start.  But if you truly believe in that profound message of love and compassion that Jesus gave, perhaps you could start living by that ideal and not call people names because they haven't quite got there yet. We all have to come to our own truth in our own time.  Have a little patience and a little more love of the rest of us.  Peace, my friend.  All is well.

In getting along, we must display respect, no matter others condition or position in life.\n\nBe blessed.

No. You need to humble yourself, don't think more than you are. Work at it, in no time you will be yourself. Leave everything in God's hand He knows what to do

Be an example.  It's hard to save the world on your own.  But if you set a positive, loving example and show the world what it is like to be kind and considerate others just might catch on.  That's what I am trying to do.  We can eliminate stupidity with our example.

In context, Matthew 23:7-9 reads, "... And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."\n\nThis is call for humility for those in leadership roles. Not to be taken literally.\n\nWe are not to deny our male parent and cut the Commandment to honor our father and mother in half.\n\nSome leaders in any church may fall into the same folly as the pharisees of Jesus' day.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I won't bash a fellow Pagan, but I agree that we should rise above, not rise against. Why should we lower ourselves to petty insults and bashing? If we are angry or hurt because others have attacked us, we should not seek to become that which has caused us pain. To carry that negativity around with us is far more harmful than to walk away and leave it at its source.

Pride goes before a fall, as they say. But Americans should understand that we are not offering Humility as a rule for all as in the case of subservience. Humility is a variable quantity which is a bit like seasoning in food. Put a bit in where needed. \n\nWhy we think you need it is because you put your pride so much up front without a dose of humility, you fail to realise that you are idiots. And because if we were as stupid as you, we would be humble to suit our idiot status.\n\nWe think there is no bigger fool than a proud fool. Do you understand that?

Not a bad question!!\n\nNot sure that I can help though.\n\nThe first thing that came to mind was this quote by Hightower:\n\nDiscipline without Freedom is Tyranny.\n\nFreedom without Discipline is Choas.\n\n\nI hope that helps\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy
