Humility is not thinking less of myself,
but rather thinking of myself less.
I am neither the best nor the worst
—both extremes are manifestations of pride.
Those who stand on tiptoes lose their balance.
42 Ideals of Ma’at
Long before the 10 Commandments, or Buddhism, ever existed were the 42 Laws of Ma’at from Ancient Egypt.
They represent the essential blueprints for our growth and refinement as a person.
Barefoot and naked of breast I mingle with the people
Barefoot and naked of breast
I mingle with the people
of the world.
My clothes are ragged
and dust laden,
and I am ever blissful.
I use no magic
to extend my life.
Now before me,
the dead trees become alive.
