Lex, I love you  and your work, but I disagree with you in the humbleness thing. You say that quite often - the size/dimensions/secrets of the universe are humbling  you. This sounds like a phrase to me,  like smthg  many people say without thinking about twice. Why? Why does it humble you? Human beings like Mozart or van Gogh have been nothing but human beings, but they managed to do things beyond our understandings, pieces of art that belong to another world. Why do they, do we need to be humble? It's a fairly catholic or at least western religious idea in my opinion, as a thought it's not deep, not as deep as you use to think - it's a cliché. Wrong humbleness keeps us being in the dust until we are dust again. If we want to get better and greater and more empathic and more in love and in touch with each other we have to think as if we were already better, greater, more empathic, more in love with each other, to be able to become it in reality one day. That's a healthy non-humble thought. - I don't want to offend you with any word, I truly adore your work,  your integrity, your  character, and I am very grateful for everything you do for us.,(reply>), ​@Gravoc Thanks for your response. I am not a native English speaker (in fact I know my English skills are below average), and, I might not be able to say exactly what I am trying to express. I meant: A single human being has to be humble against other human beings. A person must treat other people with love and respect; this could be called humbleness, in the sense of renouncing self-exaltation. That is the kind of humbleness that I think is right. But mankind does not have to suffer from an inferiority complex in general. Perhaps this attempt to explain it fits better.<br><br>One more remark: If only 1% (or even only 0.00000001%) of mankind can be van Gogh and Mozart, then the whole mankind <i>is</i> also van Gogh and Mozart. If only 1% (or 0.00000001%) of humanity can be Stalin and Hitler, then all humanity <i>is</i> also Hitler and Stalin. Theoretically, each of us is both Mozart and Stalin. Forgetting that dramatically decreases the chances of the individual becoming a Mozart, but dramatically increases the chances that he could become a Hitler.<br><br>Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I think if we're not more courageous and ambitious and honest with ourselves soon, we're going to cease to exist as a race.,(reply>), Being humble is the only way to get out of ones own way. We are all the center of the universe, until the universe shows us otherwise in one way or another. Sure some people can make that work and do great things. But to the vast majority of humans who have lived, who are currently alive, and who will ever live. Humility is the only path forward. We all can’t be Van Gogh. Remarking the 1% of the 1% of the 1% of humans for their incredible accomplishments isn’t a solid argument when one considers humanity in its entirety.
