Ufology is really an exercise in humility

[Ezechiel]

The recognition that humans are not the ultimate sentient creation with the ultimate technology of this universe seems to be the hardest to take for:

• Religions that have a centrist view of the emergence of life.
• The military and governments whose mandate is to provide security and stability.
• The elite who've insured their security through control of the food chain and ecosystem of the earth.

With this kind of adversity whose focus is to control your mind, heart and wallets, how the heck are you supposed to expect disclosure of any kind of external force outside of their control ?

For fans of the 'Planet of the Apes' movie series, this should ring some bells LOL. Isn't vanity one of the 7 deadly sins ?

In almost every list pride (or hubris or "vanity") is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor." In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the titulary famed Parisian doctor. In perhaps the best-known example, the story of Lucifer, pride (his desire to compete with God) was what caused his fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. Vanity and narcissism are prime examples of this sin. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the penitents were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs in order to induce feelings of humility.
