The good, the bad and the ugly of our past should drive us to humility. Humility, after all, is the spiritual end game. Humility is not pitiful confession, self-defense or arrogant denial. Humility is one’s own acceptance of our place in the scheme of things. Humility is standing alone in the midst of the storm. No matter the size of the waves crashing around us, the humble possess the quiet confidence that somehow our circumstances have an eternal meaning.
The alternative is to seek an earth bound bubble that advertises and may offer temporary relief from the weight of our crisis’s and failures. Family, social identification, government and religions of every flavor are bubbles. All bubbles are inherently self-serving, having limits and boundaries to be enforced. Bubbles do not allow for the free expression of ideas, concerns and beliefs. Bubbles, sadly, are in the majority.
