Dalai Lama—To say that humility is an essential ingredient in our pursuit of spiritual transformation may seem to be at odds with what I have said about the need for confidence. But there is clearly a distinction to be made between valid confidence or self-esteem, and conceit - which we can describe as an inflated sense of importance, grounded in a false image of self.
"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." Herman Melville : Moby Dick
i honestly can't choose just one... i think pearl jam's lyrics have answers to all of the questions and situations. whatever happens there's always a line or few for it in my life. it is hard to say which one is favoured by me. there are very-very many that touched my mind. the one that got in my head at this very moment (while i typed this message) is: "don't see some men as half empty, see them half full of shit".
We felt the lightning

Strange how the night moves,

I love Bob Seger, this song is awesome..
I drove from coast to coast last fall and listened to Seger's greatest hits about 75% of the time.

It's a bit cynical towards love, but I can certainly relate.
Don't see some men as half empty.
See them half full of shit.

All is different now.
I tried to explain... somehow.
Let's get the fuck out of here,
Get out of here fast...
and every night, what I'm waiting for
is the real possibility I may meet you in my dreams
and sometimes you're there
and you're talking back to me
come the morning I could swear that you're next to me
and it's okay.
It's okay
It's okay"

"But first he was stripped, and then he wast stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands"
Your still alive she said.
Oh and do I deserve be?
Is that the question?
And if so, if so.
Who answers?
Who answers?
If just one wish could bring her back... It's sad.
And his loneliness is proof... It's sad.
He will always love you... It's sad...
That gets me every time. It's so sad. :`(

And I love that one too:o!
