What is humility and why is it good?

But from the "humble" people I know NOTHING, which is why I asked this question. Who are the HUMBLE people?

anyone who entrusts themselves to gods justice instead of forcing their way with violence, wealth, or political power.

When they feed you to the lions, let them eat you.

When they kill 6 million of your brothers and sisters, let them kill 6 million.

Do you see how that has made these 2 groups the most powerful influencers on earth?

There's something that should be said about that.

Well if I do that (entrust myself to God's justice) in Far Cry of Half-Life or EverQuest I'll just be turned into minced meat. Which is why I have confusion about this humility. Is it just magic?

What about the stalkers in Half-Life 2. Are they not pure humility? They entrusted themselves to the Combine which is like the law, and the law is run by God. Yet he made them into that. How can Gordon Freeman wreck everything in his path and come out successful. Is he humble?

if you can't see the difference between a stalker monster in a video game, and say a christian being fed to the lions or a non violent jew being starved in a concentration camp then you may as well just keep being you and let god sort it out.

The stalkers in Half-Life 2 are clearly inspired by what you just said.

I honestly dont know what they are, but if they are not trying to just raise a family without bothering anyone they probably are not a good role model.

You are very discreet. May I ask, what's the point of creating anything let alone have sex when everything dies in the end?

Because this short time we have in this universe of entropy is worth it, because in the other one we don't know beginnings or ends and therefore can't comprehend happy or sad.

That's what I reckon at least.

Oh so you're the smart intelligent strong guy who can marry someone and have sex and produce many children and provide for them. You're so humble that you don't even want anyone else to do the same? We are the virgin weaklings who just play games all their lives and waste away working low payment jobs. You are so good man. I am happy for you!

So what is humility again?

That's why I asked the question. Isn't taking CONTROL and chasing after anything a form of pride? Why wouldn't you just remain humble and believe in God's plans for you? shovelquest exposed himself as a free will or "do as thou willt" believer. Isn't that what he said? In my opinion it is, judging by his previous post. Isn't that pride?

Not trying to offend you shovelquest, I'm just stating my problem with humility and pride.
