    Reality is nine-tenths your bank balance.
    Humility is nine-tenths of reality.
    Humility and reality are nine-tenths of personality.
    Personality is nine-tenths of character.
    Character is how you show your personality.

    opinions welcome!

    Reality is 10 tenths your bank balance...
    Humility is (or should be) the strongest part of your character......

    Reality and humility together make up part of the meaning of life.....but only half of personality. The other half is how others see you...

    Character goes hand in hand with personality, and is fed by it....

    Character is who you are.

    rEVOLUTION oF Evolution

    The human mammalian brain is a design oriented-- device of evolution, which evolves on a moment-by-moment basis to provide adaptation to fast changing environmental conditions in a way that most other forms of life cannot. It <i>was</i> the very advantage that gave humans the ability to survive and flourish. It is over-built & will likely become de-evolved back to a point that becomes balanced with the natural Earth environment. The only Possible exceptions are variants that become space faring and genetically self aware....... & controlled.

    APE CITY, September -- Gorilla
    forces made high cliams of success
    today, for the recent hunts on local
    packs of humans. Officials reported
    that the attack on the humans would
    disrupt the groups' feeding patterns,
    and cause them to search for food
    elsewhere. "They were simply eating
    away our crops," General Ursus said.
    "We need to defend our territories and
    our crops from these pests before they
    eat us out of our winter storages."
    The attacks were precipitated by a
    series of recent human infestations,
    especially within the crop fields.
    They have already caused extensive
    damage to many of the crops, more so
    now than they have in recent years.
    Dr. Zaius, who sanctioned the attacks,
    said, "They must have a nest somewhere
    nearby. They keep coming and in great-
    er numbers each season. We will find
    this nest and exterminate them, before
    they do us." Gorilla officials warn
    that this is just the beginning of
    such hunts, and will escalate further
    until this current threat subsides.

    so.....
    DOES THE EXCEPTION PROVE THE RULE OR PROVE THE
    EXCEPTION TO STRENGTHEN THE RULE?

    All are not alike

    All are not equal

    All are many

    All are as one as one might be not part of all

    All seek to be not one of all

    One seeks to be one over all

    One seeks to be one with all

    So the REAL question is... those who exhibit to dominate the mammalian brain are not mammalian....?


    thoughts anyone....?

    Reality is the time between waking up and being fully awake and between being drowsy and sleeping.

    Secondly, humility is the amalgamation of empathy and sympathy.

    Thirdly, personality is the shallow version/way of saying character...they are not the same, but similar. Anyhoo, personality and character are what we are in the dark (it's been said before, admittedly).

    "Reality is nine-tenths your bank balance.
    Humility is nine-tenths of reality.
    Humility and reality are nine-tenths of personality.
    Personality is nine-tenths of character.
    Character is how you show your personality"

    how did you come up with these figures??

    reality is 100% of whatever you are talkin about unless it isn't real... (duh)

    humility is what percent of reality??

    okay, what is the unreal part of it?? (define clearly please)

    the rest I will not bother with cos it doesn't seem to make sense mathmatically

    Godless put it in an interesting way

    Reality is my paycheck,
    Humility is what i can afford with it.
    -----------
    the reality of life is defined by the user!
    the way you treat others is definitive of your character.
    and.. impacts on your reality

    i.e SOME PEOPLE THINK THE WORLD IS IN AN OK STATE
    AND WE ARE DOING FINE.

    ..........SOME DISSAGREE!!!

    as clear as mud yet?

    i hope that allows a better understanding of my
    finger pointing on this concept.

    the rest I will not bother with cos it doesn't seem to make sense mathematically
    ---------
    When did humans operate on a mathematical basis of communal interaction?


    Groove on all
