You show up on campus and think you're the ultimate -- for awhile. Until you realize there are a lot of other students who are just as able as you, and also a lot who are MORE able than you.

I never understood -- until I met so many able people at once -- the importance of humility.

No matter how smart or able you are, there are a lot of others who are smarter and more able.

Why am I posting this? Just because it's worth keeping in mind. Be proud of yourself, but always respect others.

I love this topic.

For me it was the skill of really listening, thinking critically, then responding to arguments/positions without attacking people.

Holy Hubert convinced me I was a sinner and…..

Bubble Lady convinced there was a whole lot more to bubbles than I had given them credit for as a kid.

The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.

- Ecclesiastes 9:11

Everything Is Meaningless
1 The words of the Teacher,[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:

2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."

3 What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.

Ecclesiastes 1:7

MAGAts have been meaningless, hopefully in the future they will be forgotten as a blip of inhumanity and stupidity.

Don't forget the conclusion:

Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.

If tomorrow happens to be your last day on earth, the last words from you will be Cheeto and MAGAts.
