My question is, can anyone be totally objective about themselves? Therefore it figures that we must be even less able to be objective when trying to consider another's degree of humility or objectiveness? Only God kows our true worth so in my opinion we must develop the virtue of humility. I am fascinated by our dear friend Kazeh's expressions and his knowledge and ability. I have heard him give a wonderful and humorous talk and he always emphasises his lowliness. To me it is a very endearing quality. Sincerely Mike
