Humility and whatnot

It occurs to me that the pretension of humility is nearly always vanity.  True humility is not an active presence, but a passive absence.  It is a space, an unfilled space.  Vanity stands above a space it doesn’t know at all, and claims it is empty.

People are interesting.  Life is interesting.

I was confronted with a problem yesterday, and surprised myself in approaching it with interest, with curiosity.  If what I fear may materialize actually does, it will be a shitload of work for me.  But there is a beauty in not giving a fuck.  I touched that beauty, and appreciated it.
