Humble and kind..
Humble and kind
The old man sat by the St. Clair shore lake and he watched his grandchildren run and play. He had lived a long life and he knew. He knows too little and he knows too much.
Life is a honest teacher. Leave us with memories of the good days and the bad days. Life will teach us to appreciate the good days and to make them last forever. The bad days and the heavy regret of hurt given and received need to be forgotten and left behind.
The old man watched the dancing waves of the St. Clair shore lake and he remembered. Warm and kind embrace of beautiful woman, standing in the clouds in towering mountain in Central American. Suicide boarding the great storms of the Winter storms of California. He remembered his friends laughter and dancing till closing time with kind women.
Old man smiled as the three grand-boy are running wild in the dancing waves. He looked to the sun and to the sky. He told them. Thank you for the new day, thank you for good friends and healthy children. Please help my world. I want a safe place for all children.
The boys fall to his feet and demanding attention. He rose up and join them in the St. Clair shore lake water and he knows. A good life is a man who is humble and kind. The real wealth of a life is love near and many friends.

Thank you dear Tiffany. I wish we had more leaders who were humble and kind. Work to fix problems, not create them.

Beautifully written. And yes, humility is so much better than being haughty and proud, for simple pride’s sake. Even though I’m only 24, I can tell that when one lowers themselves, one can see far more than when one is high above everything.
On that last sentence, many will believe it to be the opposite…
Love is low, though that does not make it inferior. Pride is high, because pride believes itself superior. I side with love, write so much about it, because love will stoop to see the suffering of life. Yet, it will cause an earlier death, most certainly because the loving one has sacrificed so much, and lost so little.
