I'm not sure if this should be in descussion or chat. This would be "normal" convesation to my friends and I, but it may be a discussion to others. So...whatever. On to my point....
Last night, as I was reading, the people in the appartment above me begain to fight; again. It happens at least 3 times a week, and they are not shy about it. Any way.....
I was thinking to myself, what would I do if something major happened during this fight? E.G. he tossed her off the 2nd floor balcony (that's where they were fighting this time) I thought out what I would do, all the way down to what i would say to the police. Then the most humbeling thought came to my mind. Nothing like that ever happens to or around me. Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing. By all accounts it's not. But still.....
It seems to me that nothing extraordinary ever happens to or around me. Now I know to most of you this seems highly narcissistic. And in a way it is. But the thought of living an "ordinary life" bothers the piss out of me! To become one of the nameless, a number, forgotten. It's a truely humbeling thought to me.
don't worry I'm getting to the point
So I was wondering, what thoughts humble others? And that's my point. I want to know and talk about what humbles you......
Now I understand that extraordinary things happen to people all over the world each day. And alot of them are negative. So before one of you goes off on how I should be thankful for this, and greatful for that, let me just state, I am thankful that nothing seriously negative has happened to me. And I am greatful for the gifts the universe has given me. But being forgotten is my humbeling thought.

Eventually everyone is forgotten. The books crumble and civilisations fall. One day even the world and the universe will die. For that reason I think that any atempt at making a permanent mark is ultimately futile but that thought doesn't humble me in the slightest. The only thing I find humbling are my limits, I can only think so fast and remember so much and many things will be forever beyond me. But I can still console myself with the fact that I'm still smarter than almost everyone else on this planet.

couldn't have put it better myself... anyway, no-one can really 'remember' you one or two generations past your death, because they never know you. What would you want to be remembered for anyway? getting in the paper's just ain't going to cut it, it's not like fame guarantees future rememberance, as proved by the hundreds of fleeting celebrities who disappear into obscurity....
However according to the laws of complexity, you already have made an indelible mark on the world, just by existing, everyone and everything you have interacted with has changed slightly because of you... and then there's ancestry.............. think about that, it's a nice idea, nej? surely you cannot be forgotten....
well, until the universe dies i guess....

ok.. NOn you are correct. but off point. i want to know what YOUR humbeling thought is. not analize mine. but again, you do make a solid point my friend.....
.....the infamous Yuta huh? yes i could see that. but i get inspired when i see those vids. i refuse to let myself be humbeled by a person. inspired yes. but never humbeled. now i will admit openly, after 3 years of spinning, i am NO WHERE near that calibur. but such is life

oops, i wandered...
so my humbling thought? it's similar i guess, i just think about how many billions of people there are on Earth, how many billions of other animals, how many billions of plants there are, how powerful are the forces of nature, and how many gazillions of stars there are in the sky, and i feel humbled.... and selfish... unnecessary and yet strangely necessary.... and lots of other feelings all at the same time....

The famous Yuta you mean. Infamy is famous, but in a bad way, like Charles Manson.
It's the only answer I could come up with seeing as how I wasn't feeling philosophical and didn't want to suggest things like infinity, ancient civilizations, and calculus. I was just being lazy.
I was thinking in the same vein as your first post, about being remembered and trying to tie it in to the lack of exciting things in your life and funnily enough, I was going to suggest the road to infamy as a way to kill two birds with one stone, but thought better of it.
Using Yuta as an example was just my way of working heroes and idols into the picture, more specifically in a context that might be thought of as achievable to most people on this site ( as opposed to becoming say,,,the new lead singer of U2 )
I've been spinning three years too, and I'm nowhere near that caliber either, and I can't help feeling that Yuta's tapped into something I'm missing, maybe I'll discover it tonight, maybe it'll take another three years, but for now, from a poi spinning perspective I'm humbled, and awed.

that without without me the whole world would crumble down and die...just joking(well not really i really am the most important thing there ever was...)
what humbles me is that the whole human race and all its creations...EVER still amount to nothing compared to what there is out there and that to what is out there everything we do has nearly no effect and infact noone is significant...at all...[/end cynical rant]

i find the existence of the following numbers to be extraordinarily humbling
e (the base of natural logarithms) = 2.71828...
pi = 3.14159265....
and the relationship e to the power of (pi times i) equals -1 to be mind bending
phi (golden ratio which defines the ratio that makes things aesthetically pleasing) = 1.61803399....
interesting side note there was a group call the Phythagorians who where an ancient cult who saw astronomy/mathematics/spirituality/knowledge/etc to all be one and the same *sigh* ah for the good old days

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

What's humbling about pi? Apart from when its humble pi..
The e,pi,-1 & i relationship is very beautiful, but it makes sense on
the complex plane. However the fact that the complex plane works
and that the world we live in is so demonstrably subtle and rich is a
source of delight, amazement and a few truck loads of humble pie.

I have to agree with NOn, lying back and looking up at those billions of stars, the magnitude of the universe, and how little and insignificant we are in the whole scheme of things.
another humbling thought is we could fall off the planet tomorrow, the whole human race could just vanish, and the world would continue without us, time would still pass, things would still be born, grow and die, a whole history just forgotten, never mind me being remembered, the whole human race is a fragile little blip in the magnitude of the universe, and in the blink of an eye we could vanish and nothing would change

blarb... being forgotten unless you do something that makes you famous... the ancient dream of doing something extraordinary... examples like the pyramids, stonehenge, the collosseo. women like (the Bloody) Mary, Deliah, Mother Theresa, Marylin Monroe... men like Mose, Pythagoras, A. the Great, Gsus, Archimedes, d. Vinci, G. Galillei, A.H. 
Uff... what's this about? Superiority or inferior complex?
Is that a male concept???
The thought that humbles me? There are actually 1K a day that do. A small list of mine coming up right here and now:
a) a tiny little (defect) cable or screw, or a tiny dog crossing the road can cause my death anytime later on my motorbike ...
b) Yuta
c) all human creation and intelligence together is still not even a microdrop in the ocean of natures inventions but just a part of it!
d) right now the very same thoughts are shared with 1.359.845 people thinking exactly the same IN THIS VERY INSTANT!
e) projecting myself (angle of view) 2km's above my head and look down... (google.earth)
f) M.C.Escher...
@Jakit: think of all those people (mayority even) that would love to switch places with you... in my case it's also not much crap happening to others whilst I'm around and not too much happening to myself either... still last time I told someone the "story of my life" she actually started crying...
I consider myself lucky, that my travel plans have taken me to Bali 1 week after the bombing twice in those three years... phew...

I'm humbled when I think of the history of evolution & the human race boiling down to a bag of water & organs with electrons for thoughts, and how far we've now come in shaping the environment to our own preferences, and how many of us there now are.
I'm personally humbled by people who, whether they have the ability or not, put every effort into achieving something they believe in cause I've always taken naturally to learning 'skills' but I'm so lazy I'd rather just sit around watching tv

Children humble me especialy mine.
My children humble me in more ways than anyone can imagine. they have both been through alot and my oldest more than most adults i know. and yet every day to them is lived to the fullest, when i am at my lowest they help me pull through, whether its a puppet performance or a drawing they always makle me smile. they know times are hard especially financialy. before Yule my oldest sat me down and told me that he had had loads of yules before,has loads of things he wants and that he wouldn't mind if he went without so his little brother could have something to open.then he hugged me and said that as long as we were all together he would be happy. They both do me more than proud and are very bright funny and independant boys despite life being a constant struggle. My sons by the way are 5 and 12(on sunday)

seiously sick Legal and illegal are a point of view. All that matters is morality.

The 1970 nobel peace prize winner Norman Borlaug is perhaps the nearest I get to having heros. They say he's saved over a billion people world wide. Probably many, many more. He's the epitamy of what it means to me to be a scientist, yet almost no-one has heard of him whilst the average schmoe in the street will know almost everthing about some vacuous soap actress.
That's humbling (and depressing).
