To the proportion that humility declines, vice increases. But what is actual humility? Humility is defined as the quality or state of being humble.

Quality Life: Living In Balance
http://optimalwellbeing.blogspot.com/2010/02/living-in-balance.html
Reflections on the human condition in the context of spiritual growth. Sunday, February 14, 2010. One amongst the many current lessons of my life:. You have to learn when to let go. Perform your work as much as is expected of you - good enough effort will do - and then disengage and come to rest. There is much value in unpressured, stressfree, calm, loving presence. Let's celebrate life's wonders and all the beautiful blessings of the Lord! Let's take a break from work, performance and productivity!

Reflections on the human condition in the context of spiritual growth. Monday, June 22, 2009. Yet we understand that human romance is a play of the mind.

Quality Life: The Emptiness of the Heart
http://optimalwellbeing.blogspot.com/2009/10/emptiness-of-heart.html
Reflections on the human condition in the context of spiritual growth. Friday, October 30, 2009. The Emptiness of the Heart. This is a constant and recurring theme in my experience. I feel incomplete. Something essential is missing. I look around, toward people, someone to make the pain go away, but it simply doesn't work. What is this yearning of my heart? What is it longing for? Whom is it calling? Why do I feel incomplete and unsatisfied? What is the root of this elusive, yet persistent, distress?
