Aristotle placed pride as the proper mean between humility and vanity. Why not fulfill our agenda with pride? One of central pieces of our ideology is that we freely usurp parts of anything right, but that doesn't mean that we need to fight placidly, as if we're only borrowing the truth. A certain sense of purpose in implementation is a virtue, even if we aren't the 'true believer' type.
Keep in mind St. Thomas Aquinas' definition of humility, that it "consists in keeping oneself within one's own bounds, not reaching out to things above one, but submitting to one's superior." Is that really what we want to be- people who submit themselves to servitude? -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
