Hey, Seuss Washington. Yeah, right. Right. So that is bonkers to me. Like, wow, we can't do anything in the span of 20 years. And the world, the Christian world changed an ideology in the span of 20 years.

Right. I'm just here whacking away at this bookshelf. Yeah. So, yeah. So it was really the Christian, the Christian input post Jesus's crucifixion was hot, hot, hot.

Interesting. And in Christian tradition now, right, the role of humility in counteracting pride, pride is considered the most severe of the seven deadly sins in many circles. Think about that. Right. Over like wrath? Right. Because it involves an excessive love of one's own excellence and often leads to other sins.

You can do anything you want.

You can do anything you want.

You can greet it down. And you can do it wherever you want. You could do it in Times Square if you wanted to.

Is it really a sin? Right. If I'm doing it, surely it's not a sin.

And this was so crazy because I don't think I understood what we were talking. We've talked about pride before, and I don't think I really understood the context at that point when we talked about pride because we weren't looking at it in the context of humility. And until I was able to read about the evolution of humility, pride didn't make whole sense to me. But it does more so now.

Like on the other hand, right, of pride, humility involves having an accurate perspective or view of yourself, right, and recognizing your own limitations. And once you recognize your own limitations, you're doing so with a perspective that you are not above anyone else. Right, it's not you and everyone else. You're not above the rules. You're not above the systems.

You exist and you understand what is above and below your worldview. And that perspective leads to modest behavior, selflessness, respect for others, right? It's through humility that we... maintain our perspective on our own abilities and skills, right? And foster gratitude and dependence on our community and others. And of course, in the church, dependence on God. Wow.
