Humbleness
    #14025249 - 02/25/11 12:29 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I used to find suffering the most humbling thing to happen to me, when my mind was suffering that's when it would give it up & surrender, now i find bliss is the most humbling experience

What humbles you most?

Is it a bit of a risk to be taking MDMA in old age? It gets your heart pumping.

I was thinking, though, if I'm going to go out it would be best to go out on drugs.

used in the long term, it seems it would do more long term "damage" than good, especially for those already suffering from unhappiness and anxiety.  short term relief yes, but the negative long term effects would most likely be too subtle for the conscious mind to recognize, sending the person into a downward spiral into unhappiness, or less happiness.  an analogy would be exercise.. it takes months of exercise for the mind to become aware of the changes in brain chemistry/mood.  with ecstasy, the mind becomes aware of the changes, but does not attribute it to the use of E, because it's too good to be true and there are more easy targets to point fingers at, like a broken childhood or past.  imo.

Cause it feels really good?

Humility doesn't get you very far in the world of aggressive dominance, but its still a mighty beautiful state to be in, the more humble your mind is the more supple & subtle it is, so it can grasp subtler truths about existence...

you can be humbled by personal experiences.  I have, somewhat.  though I don't consider myself to be very humble at all.

If I'm wrong and I admit it, does that make me humble, or am I just seeing what is right there?
Humility is often a braggadocios title that attempts to gain special merits on nothing. IMO.

you're dodging the point.

say everyone you love and who is close to you dies, and you have a breakdown.

could that humble you?

if you were the type of person to be wrong and never admit it, and something changed within you, and you realized how wrong you've been and started to admit your wrongness, is that not a shift into a more humble state of mind?

Because I don't agree that such a thing as humbleness really exists. How can I answer a question about whether or not something can make me humble, if I see nothing such as humbleness? And my questions are to you in hopes that you can convince me that humbleness does in fact exist and that I am wrong. If that's the case, then I will be able to answer your question.

As it stands, I do not deny that our mental state can change according to what happens in our life. But, again, humility is often just a braggadocios title that attempts to gain special merits IMO.

Right, I do not think one can coherently deny the existence of humbleness or humility.  That being said, any event that reminds me I'm not the center of the Universe usually serves to humble me, such as doing something stupid and reaping the consequences.

Sure. It usually gets me feeling good about myself when I can accept my imperfections without feeling bad about it.

I cannot agree with this I'm afraid. That subjective humility that makes me feel good about myself is IMO akin to the good feeling this hypothetical gamer gets about himself and ultimately results in his boasting. I do think that one is more socially acceptable and socially useful, but in terms of the feeling itself, they seem very similar to me.

Right. And I'm questioning what that word actually represents. IMO it often represents no real change emotionally and serves the same basic function as boasting.

I don't understand how humility could make you feel good about yourself.  Is it that you recognize the humility within yourself, and feel good about it?  Wouldn't that be the opposite of humbleness?

Exactly. IMO that's what we are all chasing through being humbled. We are chasing the ability to accept our imperfections, to actually BE humble. But once you achieve that, what then? You will feel good about it. And then, how is it any different than being boastful?

To actually be humble is to be boastful, in a way. At least as far as I can tell. It's that good feeling we want. That feeling of self-acceptance.

IMO humility isn't something to be achieved.  It would be lacking in humility to think that you have achieved it, or are achieving it.

Being boastful IMO implies bragging to others; acquiring humility doesn't necessarily have this component to it.  I get what you mean about feeling too good about being humble, but there's nothing wrong with recognizing that one has once more beaten down excessive pride.  (One has to be careful that one doesn't recognize this TOO much, though, or one can become prideful about one's own humility.)  :shrug:

I agree, there is nothing wrong with humbleness. But I also don't think there is anything wrong with boasting. It's attempts at the same thing IMO, even if one is more maturized than the other.

One could solely pursue humility for the good feeling it brings up, but I think a more common or at least more useful effect would be the avoidance of downfall via pride, which boasting does not bring.  If anything, it would increase one's chances of slipping up due to pride IMO.

That's what makes one more mature than the other IMO. You have to learn the effects of boasting before you can attempt to avoid them. You have to learn the effects of attachment before you realize that they do not bring anything of worth. That sort of thing...

This was mostly to encourage those who see boasting as a negative thing and humbleness as superior to ease up a bit with the judgment :lol:

So long as you aren't advocating that humility/humbleness is automatically a negative thing...  :tongue:

I see no thing such as humbleness. I see attempts towards acceptance that lead to both boasting and humility, and then a learning curve in between.

Hmm, but my point was that humility isn't necessarily spurred by a desire for acceptance.  Boasting is, but humility can be driven by a desire to avoid the negative effects of pride.

The line is so blurred for me that I guess I agree. In my eyes pride/boasting are the same thing and are compensatory effects of not being able to accept all of your abilities in equal measure. The ones that you are good at are the ones you brag about. Humility is the acceptance of all your abilities in equal measure, at least IMO. And sure, it is the incompleteness of bragging that keeps one continuing the search for greater degrees of acceptance.

Then its not humility, its just another badge of pride...

I dont think anyone truly humble would say 'i am humble' or even think they are, but they could still feel humbled by something they have seen or experienced, like losing a close friend to death, seeing the earth from space, realizing how huge the sun is compared to our earth, looking at immensity of the stars etc...

Sensing that you aren't anything but a blip on the radar is humbling, if you've made yourself out to be something more. If you honestly see yourself as nothing tho, how could any of that humble you? What is there to humble?

I'm probably the most humble poster here at the Shroomery.  Humble as fuck!

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

It is what it is. I respect Chronic and see the Tao flowing out of him. Doesn't mean he can't lead from behind sometimes, just like the rest of us.

An excuse for what? If you get hurt over a joke, I really don't see how it is my fault. The world does far worse than make jokes, you probably better buckle up.
