We always want to climb, go higher and higher. Vanity. But the first rung, the first step is the last step because there is nowhere to climb, nothing to achieve. The ladder, with so many rungs, doesn’t lead anywhere. There is only one step, the first step. If I know how to meet that first step, know all about it, then the whole circus is over. Then there is humility, real humility, because I am no longer climbing. Where there is humility, there is learning.
Really great words
