“Before Thee is All My Desire” (Day 28 of the Holy Rule)

We are rightfully taught not to do our own will when we guard against what Scripture teaches: 'There are ways that seem right to men, the end of which plunges them into hell.'"

A second means of preserving humility is to pay heed to Divine Wisdom over that of Wordly Wisdom.  When you align your desires to the Divine Will, you will have nothing that you would even wish to hide.

For this reason, the humility of St. Therese of Lisieux is far superior to the self-regard of a Nietzsche.  For, it is the latter who participates in the Infinititude of the Living God while the latter is an Ozymandias of his times, a period piece fit for a museum -- or, perhaps, one day, just a dust bin.  

Such was the fate of many pagan philosophers.
