Humility

“Stay hungry, stay young, stay foolish, stay curious, and above all, stay humble because just when you think you got all the answers, is the moment when some bitter twist of fate in the universe will remind you that you very much don't.”
― Tom Hiddleston

The only thing I look for in people are a sense of humour and their humility.  I don't seem to have the patience anymore to deal with or bolster ego's. Sadly, this has meant the end of some dear friendships that spanned several years and has made me contemplate what I desire out of a friendship. My advice to anyone reading this blog is that they stay humble despite their background or social status. As Dostoyevsky once said - "The soul is healed by being around Children". Which to me means that in order for us to find true happiness we need to be around people who do not conform to norms, those who are secure in their innocence and those who see no difference in man - no colour, no background, no religion. Those who think very highly of themselves are the worst influence to have in one's life, because they corrupt and torment the soul. They fill it with greed, anger and hatred.  Such Pride is poison and until it dies, nothing of heaven can live within you.
