Humility, of all the Eight Virtues, is the most difficult to really understand. Subscribe on Zencastr | Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Google Play | Subscribe on Spotify | Subscribe on TuneIn | Subscribe on Stitcher Podcast Topic The virtue of Humility, in Ultima lore and in real life, is one of the more difficult virtues to describe. In fact, it is often easier to analyze by looking at what it is not, rather than at what it is. Saint Josemaria Escriva, in life a Catholic priest, was a philosopher who mused quite a lot on the concept of Humility, and in one of his “Furrows” (writings), he put forth a list of signs of a lack of humility. The seventeen points on this list will form the basis of this Byte-Sized Virtue season; if all goes well, we’ll handle one a week, but if need be we’ll consider multiple signs in a single episode. This week offers a look at the sixth and seventh signs (we’ll come back to the fifth later): “Not being aware that all the gifts and qualities you have are on loan,” and “not acknowledging that you are unworthy of all honour or esteem, even the ground you are treading on or the things you own.” Support Spam Spam Spam Humbug Patreon | Like Ultima on Facebook | Follow the Ultima Codex on Twitter Join the Ultima Community UDIC.org | Ultima Dragons on Facebook | Follow the Ultima Dragons on Twitter | The Weyrmount | Ultima Dragons on Discord Send Feedback Send Us an Email | Leave a Voice Message | Join Us on Discord Music New Magincia and New Magincia End, from the Ultima 9 Soundtrack by George Oldziey
