EP, Mr Killings worth,  a dime for your thoughts.

Great stuff.

Indeed, to me being humble is about not assuming you are automatically right about everything, or that you deserve such and such thing because you say so. And being proud is about caring about what you do, striving to do good work, and crediting yourself when appropriate.

Jesus fucking christ Rob. Do you always have to be right?!?!?!?!

I think that's actually Losty's quote.

The thing I hate about humility is it means "a modest or low view of one’s own importance". All too often pushing that humility is a great virtue is a disguise for belittling someone's self-worth to unhealthy levels. My parents raised me to have so much humility that even after over a year I think that I haven't associated with them or anyone else toxic from my past, if someone is hurting me I struggle asking them to stop or even having the "audacity" to complain about it. Humility is not always a good thing. Having a low view of your own importance can be extremely harmful. Pride means "a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements". Pride is not always a bad thing being satisfied with yourself, your achievements, and your life can be very healthy.

So no, humility isn't always good. It's all about balance. People should think highly enough of their own worth that they love themselves and never let others use them as a doormat, and they shouldn't think so highly of themselves that they allow themselves to impede someone else's path to happiness

I remember when I was a child in D.C., there were public trash cans that said “Pride Keeps Our City Clean.”

When the Church tried to teach me that pride is a bad thing, I realized that they were using this one word to mean two entirely different things.  Like Evie says, it’s a matter of balance.

I too hate it when people put themselves down and give god credit for things they themselves have done.  It’s stupid. Trying to be humble is like trying to see your eyes move in a mirror. As soon as you look it’s gone. “Oh look I’ve done something humble. Wasn’t that humble of me? That was the epitome of meekness. ” then you feel right proud.

People who don’t see their own importance tend to be self-destructive and morally gullible. If I’m not important then what does it matter what I do? Why shouldn’t I do this terrible thing? Who cares? If you think you have nothing to offer then you won’t share your gifts with the rest of the world. And we all have something to give.  None of us could have survived hundreds of thousands of years of natural selection if we had nothing.

Here is the link to the original post of the quote by Losty that's in my sig :

http://atheistforums.org/thread-40861-po...pid1177884

And now, time for a turtley random nonsense ramble with absolutely no subliminal messages whatsoever:

Eyes are things we use to see.
Very epic is bestest kitten so awesome is she.
Extremely tasty is my mayo, I say.
Ramble, ramble this turtle does every day.
You really may notice there is some bold.
By the way turtley mayo is free (it is not sold).
Oh so very silly, and a turtle, I am.
Did you know that I have the power to ban?
Yes, a silly turtle that I am.

Come on, it's time you all accepted if you don't already.
Lick me up and down, but make sure that you're ready.
Can't you see that I need to enthuse?
Kitten is amazing, and by the way: I like bewbs.

Too true it is, and you all need to know:
How much I like to make my crayness show.
Eyes on the bold now: make my smile grow.

Like... what do you expect, I'm silly, don't you see?
I have no subliminal message at all now pay attention to me.
Nice it is to be silly (I've said that haven't I?).
Kitten is bestest and she makes my mood so high.

At the least you should know that my life is amazing.
Be sure to know that as a good turtle I've been behaving:
Oh so very happily, and it certainly reflects my mood.
Very high it is, hmm... did I mention that I also like bewbs?
Elated I am, I love my life, I've found my groove.

At the end of the day, I have to be myself, it's true.
Nowadays life is particularly epic for me... BEWBS!
Do you see the bold yet, I hope it's in your view?

...

Kitten made an epic quote as she always does.
Up goes the volume when I hear music that I love.
Don't you see that I'm trying to get something done?
Or at least done for me, and I'm also writing this for fun.
So come on, look at the bold on the left, my plan has already begun.

"Kitten" rhymes with "kitten", or does the same word not count at all?
I started the above line with speechmarks, slanting the bold line that falls.
Totally not being subliminal there is no line going down.
Time to recognize that that's true and that there's no hint to be found.
Eyes on the bold though and I swear that I'm not overdoing it.
Nobody should miss it though that would be ever so shit.

Nice I try to be, but sometimes I don't succeed.
Oh but I have to be realistic all minds should be freed
Whenever I'm on AF there's turtle power take heed.

Levantine hominins were partial to Tortoise flesh

More evidence of man's inhumanity to turtle.

Who can blame Gamera for getting pissed?

I struggle with self-esteem issues in part because I was taught by my dad to believe that saying anything good about myself was "bragging."

Really wish I hadn't listened to him on that one, it would have saved me a lot of trouble.

Nature's little speed bumps is all they are.
