pride kills, humility heals. started the log of life with GPS.

every single time i think i'm winning,
thats when i fall. why i fall.

pride... "It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels." - St. Agustine

good guy.. so was St. Francis of and Reinhold Niebuhr .. gosh i wish i had more time to read up more. there as so many great hidden treasures in the writtings of this ancient men of old.

" [The value and dignity of the individual] is threatened whenever it is assumed that individual desires, hopes and ideals can be fitted with frictionless harmony into the collective purposes of man. The individual is not discrete. He cannot find his fulfillment outside of the community; but he also cannot find fulfillment completely within society. In so far as he finds fulfillment within society he must abate his individual ambitions. He must 'die to self' if he would truly live. In so far as he finds fulfillment beyond every historical community he lives his life in painful tension with even the best community, sometimes achieving standards of conduct which defy the standards of the community with a resolute "we must obey God rather than man." - R. Niebuhr

die to self.. haiz... not again.. how many times would i need to die to finally be dead.
sometimes it feels crazy to carry the cross daily, its as if.. i'm not doing it by even talking about it

its like.. what form of humility is there in saying "i'm trying to be humble"
where there should just be actions and no words? not so.

BTW on a side note, i just watched desolation of smug, gosh, brings a whole new meaning of 'Quest" to me. it sometimes feels so tempting to be lost in a fantasy world, with elves and dwarfs. but nope, gotta get back to reality, there is a much greater Forge on this earth, a much Wiser King than and old elf.

and.. i'm just trying to learn how to use a Garmin eTrex Venture Cx with base camp. sooo hard. newbie to the GPS world, but i believe it was one of the "skills" that he wanted me to acquire during my time here in sabah, he has always been mentioning it. along with GIS and ..err.. cycling =P
