Now its my turn to say to you I'm late in joining the party. The theme speaks of humanity. Your first line speaks volumes and is so very true as does you ending. Congratulations on your win and for executing the format as well.

Glad you noticed that was the idea the contrasting quality that gradually transformed by Gods power into humility, we can't do it on our own for sure, thanks for your visits and comments!

Thanks Danny, it sounds like a contradiction, or an oxymoron, but humility is great, as an attribute it is excelling. Thanks for your visit and comment!
