a profound truth that humanity has since disregarded to its own detriment. Since the words "humility" and "humble" also derive from humus, it is rather ironic that we should have assigned our species so arrogant a name as Homo sapiens sapiens ("wise wise man") :-)

Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues.

The building of the church started in 1647 and was finished 40 years later. The pulpet (1739) and the altar (1765) are made by Isak Schullström. The christening funt in wood is made by Ola Eriksson in 1904. His brother Christian Eriksson (one of Swedens most famous sculptors) made the sculpture "The Humility", placed on the north side of the church´s exterior. Christian himself is buried opposite the sculpture.

One day about 2000 years ago a large dogwood growing on the top of the hill of Golgotha was deeply shocked. He witnessed how the wood from a family member was abused: it was used to make the cross on which Jesus then died.

 

He was deeply ashamed, bowed his crown in humility and decided to stop growing. He mourned for days on end and then turned to God: “Help me, God, to never ever allow our wood to be used again for something so dreadful. Wouldn’t it be better for me and my family members to remain small, so that we can never be abused again like this?” Because the dogwood was so stricken by remorse, God agreed to his request. From that day on dogwoods grow slowly and never reach any great height. They stop growing once they have reached the proportions of a small tree. But he remains strong: his wood is very hard. For his humility God gave him a gift. From that day on the dogwood is one of the first to blossom.

A candle in the dark, a wineglass filled with our promise

I will always stay by your side and protect you because you've always believed in me

Drumknott

The only thing I've been dreaming of is eternal happiness with you

It doesn't have to be fancy or perfect, the only thing I want is you

 

Don't worry (l believe) Always (l believe) I won't forget this moment

In my arms (l believe) your smile will never lose its light

 

Cause your love is so sweet, you are my everything

I'm not just saying this because I'm happy

I will never change, I won't change

I'll only have eyes for you

 

You're the light of my life, you're the one in my life

Even if I lose everything,

I will never regret it, and keep loving you

With the everlasting love in my heart

 

From this moment on, the most important person in my life isn't me, it's you.

I can't show my true feelings with words, but I love only you.

Like friends, or like lovers,

Until my last breath, I will only love you.

 

With the mind of one, and an unshakable trust in each other,

I hope we'll comfort each other in misery and celebrate happiness together

 

I promise you (I believe) when things get hard (I believe) I'll protect you

In my arms (l believe) your smile will never lose its light

 

Cause your love is so sweet, you are my everything

I'm not just saying this because I'm happy

I will never change, I won't change

I'll only have eyes for you

 

You're the light of my life, you're the one in my life

Even if I lose everything,

I will never regret it, and keep loving you

With the everlasting love in my heart

""Near the teahouse you find a famous and unique stone water basin, with water continually flowing for ritual purification. This is the Ryōan-ji Tsukubai, which translates as "crouch"; because of the low height of the basin, the user must bend over to use it, in a sign of reverence and humility.

The shape mimics an ancient Chinese coin, the sentiment is the opposite of materialism.

Tsukubai are usually of stone, and are often provided with a small ladle, ready for use. A supply of water may be provided via a bamboo pipe, called a kakei.

The famous tsukubai shown here stands in the grounds of the Ryoanji Temple (龍安寺 or 竜安寺, Ryōanji), Kyoto, Japan in Kyoto, and was donated by the feudal lord Tokugawa Mitsukuni.

The kanji written on the surface of the stone are without significance when read alone. If each is read in combination with 口 (kuchi) - the shape of the central bowl - then the characters become 吾, 唯, 足, 知 which translates literally as "I only know plenty" (吾 = ware = I, 唯 = tada = only, 足 = taru = plenty, 知 = shiru = know).

The underlying meaning, variously translated as "what one has is all one needs", or "learn only to be content" reflects the basic anti-materialistic teachings of Buddhism."""

Information - WiKi

 

""Tsukubai has an unique inscription; if it is not raining, you see four Chinese characters on each side of it and it means: "I only learn to be content" or “I am content with what I am”.

He who learns only to be contented is spiritually rich, while the one who doesn't learn to be contented is spiritually poor even if he is materially wealthy. This concept is important in the Zen spirit.""

Information - from the brochure

 

The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as an UNESCO World Heritage.

   

The ascending view of the stairs always gives me the positive feeling, pushes me to improve and motivate me to make effort to rise in the life. We should always strive for improvement in life, work, relationship, skills, ability, thoughts, etc. The improvement means not better than others but better than ourselves from our previous level but with humility and not with arrogance.

Violet is a symbol of humility and penance as well as self-reflection.

I wish you all a nice weekend.✌

It is with great pleasure and humility that I participate in this campaign for such a necessary and present cause of our conscience and attention.

 

Violence is a monster that lives in all environments, in all social classes and respects nothing and no one. It is imperative that we open our eyes, look around and help those who suffer from this hell. It is imperative that we give our children fundamental values ​​such as humility, empathy, solidarity, a sense of justice and, above all, respect for ourselves and others.

 

For all women who suffer violence, never forget ... It is your silence that dictates the strength of your abuser.

 

A huge thank you, Lawrence and Kess for this initiative.

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you

When you get where you're goin'

Don't forget to turn back around

Help the next one in line

Always stay humble and kind

The pedigree of Honey

Does not concern the bee;

A clover, any time, to him

Is aristocracy.

 

-- Emily Dickinson

«Das nächste Spiel ist immer das schwerste Spiel!» Diesen schon lange zum geflügelten Wort gewordenen Satz schrieb die deutsche Fussball-Legende Joseph 'Sepp' Herberger als Trainer in einem Rundbrief and die Spieler der Nationalmannschaft 1954.

Auch nach nun mittlerweile doch einer Reihe von Jahren im Patenbereich merke ich immer wieder mit Demut: «Der nächste (unabhängige) Patentanspruch ist immer der schwerste Patentanspruch.»

---

"The next game is always the hardest game!" This sentence, which has long since become a proverb, was written by the German soccer legend Joseph 'Sepp' Herberger as a coach in a circular letter to the players of the national team in 1954.

After a quite a number of years in the patent profession, I still continue to realize with a sense of humility: "The next (independent) claim is always the hardest claim."

Some people in SL need to have a bit of humility and remember that Second LIfe is just a virtual game, that when you log off the game, your RL life returns to being what it was. Be more humble, have more love in your heart and stop thinking that you are better than the others, because all this is an illusion. Kiss♥
