Thought for the Week: Humility

Stephen Feltham considers humility, ego, love and Spirit

by Stephen Feltham 26th October 2018

An article extoling the virtues of humility appeared in the Friend on 27 June 2014. It was written as the 100th anniversary of the start of the first world war approached. Now the anniversary of the armistice on 11 November 1918 approaches. In the years since, wars have continued and new wars have begun. Few have ceased. Conflict, it would seem, is a perennial human condition. Humanity seems so flawed, notwithstanding the pockets of enlightenment and hope for peacefulness scattered around the planet. We are, after all, only human – but because we have imagination, insight and inspiration there is that of the Spirit within us all to inspire and encourage our endeavour for a world without conflict.
