Humbeling thought....

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.

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

If there's a shadow in your life, then there is also sunshine. Perception is everything.
