I recently learned a lesson.

That I need to keep learning new ones.

That self-proclaimed humility is no humility at all.

As the great prophet Wigh Ard All once said ironically, "I am a hundred times as humble as thou art" is a joke, a contradiction in itself,

And hubris laughs in the face of the self-humble.

I thought myself a lowly service worker, graced by the lowly status of attending to the needs of the people.

Today, I am proven wrong.

There is yet much for me to accept and open myself up to.

I've spent my time attending to the needs of the people, and I thought that enough.
Today, I acknowledge that my spent time on attending to these needs were only in fact, to my own, and that I must start anew.
Perhaps sometime will come a day when I recognize this day to be just the same,

But then again, there will have been value in the effort I'd have spent in prostration, to that point.
