Thread Name: False humility...and real humility.
Subject: False humility...and real humility.
I find myself a bit irritated by the common acronym IMHO, so I've been using IMNSHO instead (in my not so humble opinion).

I'm gonna explain why. To say IMHO strikes me as false humility...it's kind of unconvincing and pretty snide at the same time, I think.

I am VERY proud of what I am, which is a living human soul. Each one of us should be very proud of what we are. Our opinions are usually strong...if we bother to give them at all...and they are hardly what I would call humble, so why say IMHO at all???

On the other hand, everything that I have and everything that I am is a GIFT! And in that sense I do feel humbled in the light of a greater source from which I have come, and from which you have come also. That has little to do with our opinions, as such, but it is that greater source before which we can and should feel humility.

IMNSHO. Okay?

Your friend, and equal brother in arms...
