A Monk's Short Thesis on Humility

6th of The First Seed, 1795

 

 

Humility is the seventh and last of the virtues that are listed in the Scroll of Virtue, which Exalted Horen received at the throne of GOD in the Seventh Sky. 

 

We need to remind ourselves that we mustn’t stand above anyone else; we must learn to set aside our pride for it makes us oblivious to our own capability of wrong-doing. And how can we follow our great virtues, if the sense of right and wrong is obscured and clouded? If we do not humble ourselves before GOD, how can we have compassion for one another? If we see ourselves above GOD, how can we find confraternity with our fellow men? Our pride cannot get in the way of compassion, nor in the way of fellowship. Our pride cannot obscure our faith, for faith is a necessity - without it, the world as we know it shall crumble and we shan’t reach the Seven Skies upon our death. 

 

A way of thinking has swept in over the Capital of The Holy Orenian Empire, Helena. This way of thinking clashes with the morals that The Scrolls, and GOD, teaches us, as this way of thinking advocates a secularism that is anti-canonist. Such would have no place in Orenian politics, hadn’t pride and a lack of faith clouded the human mind. Those with such a way of thinking do not fear GOD, our Lord and Creator, thus their sense becomes clouded and they are led astray by their pride. They see themselves as equal or above GOD - but GOD knows no peer. With humility and faith they could be guided back to the righteous path, the path that our Lord wishes for us to take in order to reach the Seven Skies and achieve complete harmony.
