WORDS FOR LIFE
- This parable reminds us of the need to remember always our proper social position and to ensure that our blind ambition doesn’t send us on a mad race for ever higher goals.
- This craving for apparent progress occurs when we allow our desire for honour, power and superiority to get the better of us.
- Genuine humility will not prevent us from enjoying social relationships and status in our profession, and from receiving the respect which everyone deserves.
