It would seem that humility is in fact a striving for excellence, while rage is a striving for revenge. The lust for power seems to be a desire to give everyone a successful comeuppance—except for the self. Unchecked, it seems rage begets more and more rage until the mind is filled with nothing else. What is Creator’s perspective?

Indeed, we would say that humility is divine and rage an all too human characteristic and attribute. If you think about the meaning of divine alignment, what maintains it, what is missing when being out of alignment, and what will be the answer allowing a return to divine alignment, you will see at once that being out of divine alignment cannot be cured by rage because being enraged will not happen when one is in alignment. It is an incompatible state of being with divine alignment and will occur in situations and circumstances where those involved are in a state of non-alignment, and are reacting to that dilemma using rage as an attempt to overcome an obstacle to their restoration, to gain back something taken from them. This is why rage has limited utility, because if prolonged it becomes a problem in and of itself. The fact it is highly potent and destructive will guarantee this is so. A rage-filled person will be very unsuccessful in life because, if nothing else, no one will want to have anything to do with them and they will end up being shunned wherever they go. In contrast, the humble person will not make waves and is easily tolerated everywhere. Keep in mind, we are talking about humility as a kind of demeanor presented to the world. That does not assume or even imply weakness or lack. This can confuse people, who will underestimate the humble soul, thinking they lack wherewithal and might be a patsy they can take advantage of and control easily, or even prey on ruthlessly. But a being with that vulnerability is not vulnerable because of humility but rather weakness, helplessness, powerlessness, and that is a complex of identity corruption where they have become truly reduced in effectiveness, through a series of false beliefs they take to heart and bring about that result of vulnerability, and may well be seen universally as being weak and even pitiable in their weakness. A truly humble person can, at the same time, be a tower of strength and a real force to reckon with who may be implacable, impervious to attack, and possessed of tremendous strengths and resourcefulness that will only be displayed when needed for self-defense, but still then in a measured careful fashion to only meet the immediate need for safety and not indulge in an excess retribution. All of this description speaks to the capability of a humble person to command great strength and power at the same time with restraint, discernment, and self-judgment that is tempered by a clear view of reality and an embracing of ethics in alignment with divine principle. Such individuals will be self‑correcting, and anything that challenges them will end with their personal growth in taking on the challenge and finding an appropriate solution that brings things back into balance eventually, and all such events leading to devising strategies, add to a toolkit for life that make them a true master of their destiny. In contrast, rage is a blunt tool, a broad‑based assault that does not inform but rather attack, and that will always worsen an imbalance rather than restore it to a state of equanimity.
