Famous quotes with Vertu

  • Humilité devient une denrée rare dans le froid, le calcul et la société fière d'aujourd'hui. Il est en train de devenir une vertu oubliée, qui me fait souvent me demande "pourquoi?" à mon avis, l'humilité peut se manifester sous deux formes: l'une étant la forme interne de l'honnêteté, la vérité et l'intégrité, c'est à dire d'être honnête au sujet de qui nous sommes, et d'accepter nos strenths et les faiblesses vérité; tandis que la seconde forme étant l'un externe, qui est associée à la façon dont nous traitons les autres avec respect et dignité. Deux formes internes et externes sont interdépendants et ne peuvent simplement pas exister independenttly. Si c'est le cas, il peut expliquer pourquoi l'humilité est rare ..... c'est son manque d'honnêteté et de respect de soi qui germe sa / son manque de respect envers les autres. Accepter ses propres folies avec la plus grande honnêteté est certainement le premier pas vers l'humilité et de se rapprocher au pouvoir suprême.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
