The art of being humble ...

I had been busy recently, consequently I did not partake in too many blogs. However, I do enjoy peeking in once a while to see if my favourites are still here. I also enjoy reading some of the profiles.

Quite often I see comments, blog writings and even profiles flaunting how successful, beautiful and even intelligent some members claim to be. That could be true, however it is a real pity that all these wonderful people should be stuck somewhere in something, looking for affirmation on a free chat/dating site and that from people they most probably will never meet.

The challenge in life is to value our successes, intellect and beauty as blessings, without constantly creating a subjective base of what is good or not good enough. To all the people on this site who manage to remain humble, allowing space for different opinions from people with different backgrounds (as typical expected on this free site), a sincere thank you...bouquet

Good point. Its healthy to stay humble while having a bit of harmless fun too as it lightens the sometimes gloomy atmosphere here. JMO,bouquet

Same here, pieceacake, which is why my photo is a rear view. rolling on the floor laughing

You need a sense of humour when reading the blogs. It isn't a matter of humility. Judgementalism is often out in full force.
Luke,

You are right Crazy!! This is a serious blog and we are making light of it !!! However......................laugh rolling on the floor laughing Sorry LFA.sad flower I guess I just joined this site to have a laugh - but with everyone - not at them!! Promise!! innocent bouquet
Oops, I disagree Crazyheart. This is the best time for humour and wit. There's no sarcasm or nastiness in anyone's comments here. The humourous comments lighten up the tone of the original blog.....most of us don't take ourselves or others too seriously yet maintain our respect for each other. handshake
Pieceacake,


You can't say sorry while having that laughing icon!scold

Now, say sorry properly...and mean it this timescold grin
Crazy
Yep, that's me! 45 years ago.grin
doh hug wave
Hi Lucy. Mind that slope, or we will be seeing another side of you altogether - and it won't make a pretty picture!!laugh
Only person making any sense here is Judge Judy....rolling on the floor laughing


And myself of course... hows that for being humblerolling on the floor laughing uh oh
Crazyheart, my comment wasn't directed at you personally except for the 'Oops' part of it. It's just that I don't believe you need to apologize. And you don't need to defend yourself to me because I know you're always respectful with everyone. My point was that the witty comments lightened up a blog that (to me) didn't feel very nice. So... hug
I meant allowed to brag toodoh doh


and Piecacake, I was just kiddinghug teddybear
Lucy,


everytime you see a blushing icon on my post...please imagine me with a devious smile and grinning...grin
To me it all comes down to the very reason the blogs where put here, so we could get to know the people behind the profile uh oh and that we surely do wow laugh rolling on the floor laughing wine
