Well according to Eckhart Tolle when you address the human Ego it fights back harder for dismantling it's perceived sense of self.

People have been fed a steady stream of "the world doesn't care about you, why are you caring about it", and "you need to fight for what you want" for at least a century now. As broken as society is, not many people see what society does for them, so there isn't much motivation to *want* to serve others or be humble.

I don't trust that man as far as I can throw him.

It’s because the argument itself was weak, there was valid points but he never gave any reasoning to why it’s an issue with being more selfish

Go good ways or bad ways.

So just let people walk all over you?

Yes, practice gratitude, meditation and yoga but not just regular yoga, karma yoga 🙏

You're absolutely right.

Amazing! thank you! :)

Thank you for this perspective because at the mention of his parents as the model of the solution, was a bit pausing. I have learned that humility is not only found in focusing on servicing others. The contrary might be true. there is a lot of self-serving in service. yuck

I agree with the sentiment of the video, and was interested enough to watch it through, but this guy doesn't come across as humble.. he comes across as an entrepreneurial millenial who has seen a niche anti-market for millenials.. what does he mean by "humility" ? we can all claim to be humble can't we ? Psalms 149: 4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.

How can humility, or the quest for humility, ever result in anything except low self esteem and inability to accomplish anything? If I go all day long meditating on how unworthy I am, that won't result in holiness. That only results in the person becoming that much more unworthy. Does anybody else have this problem? Has putting yourself down really resulted in holiness or power for living for any of you out there?

Your profile pic kinda contradicting

True

Eh...there's definitely a strain of narcissism that runs through most western countries. The U.S. is just the king

Who can heal, who can save, who can help, and the answer to all is Jesus. Period• no question😄

“Not I, But Christ” has become a scares concept in our churches and in our societies today. It is even more scares in me. It is frightening to even consider. if you would just look at social networks or media today, or humanity's regressive old traditions, and our destructive progress, the words of this song would be appear ‘oppressive’ or ‘limiting’. However, you go to church today; are people who claim to be “humble” Christians, and are still strong church-goers, however, come closer to them, you will experience the most coldest brush of human affection you never experienced before. And like the “pharisee-effect”, they do not see themselves. Dear God, in a world where success is measured by in-comprehensive love of yourself. Where self is to be better and beyond another through the most ghastly actions possible, please help us navigate our way back to you Gentle Shepherd.

Was Jesus that humble? Did He not talk back to religious leaders? Did He not chase the miney changers out of the Temple? Jesus wants us to be meek and humble but was He all that meek and humble Himself? This is not an argumentive question, I really would like to know.

So do Muhammad and other religious figures/deities.

The fact you came in here to post that is the highest form of ego.

Really?

He was not mocking. He demonstrated about some people. Do not get offensive.

Try being honest withou coming across as condescending.

because you can't change people by petting their heads and saying "you are a good narcissistic boy, aren't you? you can change can't you boy?" He's giving them the outside look, a thing few people stop to analyze.

It's based on the truth and he's offering a solution. He said people are taking the "be yourself" tip to much of the rail, and are focusing too much on themselves. So no, it's not a hate speech.

Did he tell people to hurt or harm others? Did he tell people to boast and do whatever they want?

It's simply slapping the reality in your face because you are too self-absorbed to yourself that you don't have a sense to the outside world anymore. You are too self-centered to the point that you have no empathy to others. That is why "just be yourself" is a center phrase here. It's sad but true and yes truth hurts.

You should've done the Ted talk in his place.

I agree with you, Gregory? What are we to do about all these bad things happening in the world that are no fault of ours. The people who actually have the power to don’t do anything. Also, I really have to work on myself and achieve my goals.
