Why Humility?

The knife is a powerful tool of healing in the hands of a skilled surgeon. But the knife, left to its own direction, might perceive its purpose, which is to cut. And since it’s purpose is to cut, think that it should cut as much as it can. But in so doing, it would become an instrument of destruction – all the while believing it is doing good. That is why it makes all the difference, whether I see that I am an instrument, or fancy myself to be the surgeon.
