Criss Jami Quotes
Humility Is By Far The Most Spiritual Virtue Of The Lot. The Only Way By Which One May Cease Obsessing Over Himself Is To Wholly Step Outside His Flesh. But Who Could Do This By Himself? And Who Would Really Want To Under His Natural Pretense? And Even If Somehow He Could And He Succeeded, Would Not It Be Artificial? Would Not He Seem Far Too Aware Of His Own Talents Of Achieving Humility For It To Be Such? Alternatively, He Would Need A Distraction, Something Else To Love; It Is Not That The Humbleman Thinks Poorly Of Himself, Nor Highly For That Matter, But Rather He Does Not Think Of Himself At All - And This Is Because He Is Too Busy Loving Something Or Someone Else To Do It. For The Humility Of This Kind 'rears Its Head' As The Most Love-driven And Free, Spiritual Of Virtues; Whereas Its Opposite, Pride, The Most Self-imprisoning Human Vice.
