Humility of a Mouse

If you turned doors upside down, the doorknob would be about a foot higher than it is now. I wonder if that would make us feel taller or shorter?

When I'm sick, the pictures in my imagination slow down, almost to the point of being still. They become more like photographs than moving pictures. But I'm not sick that often, so I'm often on the move, which makes me proud.

The truth is, these thoughts don't really apply to me, since I am only a mouse. Granted, I am a white mouse, but still very small, in the grand scheme of things. Perhaps bigger than my status as white is the fact that I am a pet mouse. This means I am overweight. If I told you I like your body, would you hold it against me?

Don't worry, they are more scared of you than you are of them I hear them say of my kin. Oh really? You think so? Maybe its not fear when they scurry to a hiding place behind your walls. It's more likely revulsion. Something to think about, unless it hurts your ego.

Yeah I think you think too highly of yourself. Your thoughts should be more based on your actual height and weight, WITHOUT factoring in upside down doors. Think about the earth and you standing on it. And then figure out how much space you take up. What'ya come up with? Don't worry, I know how you feel. In fact, I take up less space, but then again I have the excuse of only being a mouse.

Humility is never a bad thing. Never. Pride is always a bad thing. Always. Don't get me wrong, you can be proud of a paper you wrote or task you accomplished or the way you've slept the perfect amount of time based on your body's needs. But if you are humble about that pride than the pride is holy. It's like how a negative times a positive is always negative, with humility being the negative, which then makes it positive since the first are last and last are first yada yada yada.

Sleep well, but not too well lest you think too highly of yourself.
