Thread Name: False humility...and real humility.
Subject: RE: False humility...and real humility.
I always figure if someone is REALLY humble about their opinion, they'd keep it to themselves.

Pete, your story reminds me of the three Jewish men, two old and one young, praying in the Synagogue.

The first old man beats his breast and says, "Great Ha-Shem, have mercy on me, for I am but nothing."

The second old man beats his breast and says, "Oh Holy One, have mercy on me, for I am nothing."

The young man says, "G-d, have mercy on me, for I too am nothing."

The first old man turns to the second old man and says, "Tcha! Look who thinks he's nothing now!"
