Humble Pie

If shallowness is the supreme vice, then the most desired virtue should be humility. Humility, coming hand in hand with meekness. Oscar Wilde wrote in De Profundis that he "forgot that every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character", and I think that is precisely what has gone wrong in my life.

That, and the fact that I've backslidden so horribly from God I've forgotten the sweetness of his presence. It's time, therefore, to seek out both humility and God, before my character becomes hopelessly and irreversibly foul.

God help me.
