HUMILITY

One of my favorite stories on the subject deals with a person who had moved here for a few years from the Kingdom of the East. He had spent some time at fighter practice getting help from a guy he met there on some heraldry. This person was a great help to my new friend.

Soon thereafter (the next week, I think), this friend was at the park talking to another friend when the latter mentioned that the King (Artan) was at the park that day, and pointed him out. The friend said, "Who, the herald?"

Since that time, that has been one of the ideals I think of when contemplating humility.
