Weakness Makes Humility

By Leo Gura - October 13, 2026

If I didn’t have serious health problems I would be a lot more arrogant. Nothing humbles you like health problems out of your control. Sometimes I think I have health problems just to help me understand the weak and helpless. The strong and healthy are too arrogant and too oblivious to understand the weak. You are arrogant until you realize that your health was given to you by God and could be taken away at any minute. Strength breeds arrogance, contempt, ego, and evil. To be Good you must understand weakness. The only way to understand weakness is to be weak. Weakness cannot be understood hypothetically.

Humility is the recognition that you are at God’s mercy. We are all at the mercy of Truth. Some of us know it, most of us don’t. Even God is at the mercy of Truth. The only difference is that it has fully surrendered to it and you haven’t yet.

Makes no difference who you are, one day your health will fail and you will die.

When you get sick you will appreciate these words. And until then you won’t. You will act arrogant until Truth beats it out of you. The more arrogant you are, the more of a beating you’re in for. God doesn’t beat anyone to punish, Truth just must be what it be. God can’t change the Truth to make you feel better. The fool wishes God to change truth for him. The sage becomes God. If you can’t beat it, join it.

The strong are in denial about this. They’ve demonized weakness. They’re in for a beating. The taller the throne, the harder the fall.
