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

If people would be considerate of others' opinions and agree to disagree...it would be a much better discussion...you are right...we do not know it all and can learn through others if we are open to it...wine
Nice one, Lonely! Well said cheers
Nice one, Lonely! Well said cheers
LFA, leaving out comments and the blog writings I think the concept of a profile is a form of marketing. Are we not trying to sell ourselves? At least, I expect a little fluff and stuff, but some do get carried away. Humble pie doesn't take the cake anymore, the world has changed. Now, this is all internet driven, I think in the real world most people at least start off as humble......cheers wave


thinking of some fictitious profiles....

Humble:

Hi there, I am the mother of four children, they do drive me crazy at times, and I can't wait to get out of here before I have a psychological breakdown. I enjoy going out to dinner, but three star is just as good as a five star restaurant.

or:

Hi there, I have four brilliant children that are an absolute joy to be around. Now that they are self sufficient I find time that I could spend making another brilliant addition to my life. Since, I eat healthy and only food that is good for my curvy sensuous body, I do like to splurge a little when I'm out on a dinner date.
