Talk:Humility
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note that Ghandi was not a Christian in the orthodox sense, and that he was not speaking in the context of Christianity. I will try to pick this apart at a later date, as on the other hand some of his views do come from Christianity. Mr. Jones 10:29, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Gandhi was not a Christian in any sense. He explicitly eschewed Christianity.--Leonard C. Porrello 19:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't know that "skills" is exactly the right word for the list of the aspects of humility here. --Christofurio 16:13, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
"Skills" would fit nicely in a pop-psychology book on humility, not a scholarly article.--Leonard C. Porrello 19:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
The previous definition under Christianity completely failed to address humility toward neighbor, which is fundamental to the Christian understanding of humility. Furthermore, #3 was in no way part of the virtue of humility. Rather, it falls under the virtue of justice. Along these lines, made extensive edits and refinements. --Leonard C. Porrello 19:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Removed section, "Humility in religion, spirituality, and philosophy" as it was inaccurate and too general to be of use.--Leonard C. Porrello 19:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
This topic requires extensive scholarly revision and input. Muslim, Confucian, Buddhist perspectives would also be most welcome.--Leonard C. Porrello 19:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
The extensive scripture quote and the “joke” should be abridged or completely removed. Neither have a legitimate place in an encyclopedia entry.--Leonard C. Porrello 19:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Necessary scholarly revision still has not occured, nor have other theological perspectives come to light.--December 12, 2006
