It’s a start, I don’t know, down the correct path to being humble. It isn’t to say that each of us know nothing, it is, rather, an admission that we are not capable of knowing all things. Humility is a good thing as it keeps one’s mind open to new things and open to understanding just how small we are. If you think that you are not small better spend a few clear nights gazing at the heavens. Never mind the cold just do it.
In life we succeed and fail and after a while we lose track of what exactly happened, what the circumstances of success or faliure was for us. Often failure is due to a lack of planning or, a wonderful conjunction of happenstance that brought us success. Circumstance is a word that should be better understood as circumstance ends up being the motivating factor for chance. “What were the chances?”
Pardon me for giving advice as I am probably the last person who should give advice but sometimes it just takes a moment or two for us to understand that the basics of living are simple as pie.

A time when most people were driving 1940s model cars and my Mom used a mangle to iron clothes and rollers to squeeze the water out after washing and rinsing clothes by hand. Sheesh, the internet?
