Sometimes spanking is done in a playful manner that is neither a form of punishment nor is it intended as an erotic act. A tradition that often begins with childhood and can continue to adulthood is a "birthday spanking". This type of spanking is most often associated with a birthday celebration during which sometimes the person celebrating the birthday is spanked playfully, one time for each year of their life - and then some more "to be good on and to grow on"--sometimes also "for luck and for love." It is not meant to hurt or overly humil ...

Skverer Hasidism stresses Torah study, prayer, and abstention from excessive earthly pleasures to achieve purity of heart and mind. To that end, the Village of New Square was established, where it was hoped residents would be sheltered from influences deemed decadent. A central part of the lifestyle is the attachment to the Rebbe. As with most Hasidic groups today, the Rebbe's position is generally attained through pedigree. However, to be accepted by the masses, the Rebbe is expected to display such behaviors as humility, love for fellow Jews, and general devotion to God's service. The Rebbe, as tzaddikSee also:

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, monasticism holds a very special and important place. Far more common than in the Roman Catholic Church, the spiritual health of the Orthodox Church can be measured by the quality of its monks and nuns. It has been said that it is for lay people to look up to monastics for the example of how to live their lives, while monastics look up to and emulate the Angels in obedience and humility. Orthodox monks lead very strict lives. It is their overriding purpose to pray for the world and the salvation of all mankind ...

The last pope to be crowned by this method was Pope Paul VI. Though Pope Paul decided to cease wearing a papal tiara within weeks of his coronation, and laid his own on the altar of St. Peter's Basilica in a gesture of humility, his 1975 Apostolic Constitution, Romano Pontifici Eligendo, explicitly required his successor to have a coronation, stating: the new pontiff is to be crowned by the senior cardinal deacon. Nevertheless amid considerable opposition from within the Curia his successor, Pope John ...

The joyful Mandrake the bard, in Ultima VI, has his own set of three Principles, which also form eight Virtues. Eight of the virtues are derived from these three principles: The relationships between the Virtues and Principles isn't explained in the game, but the one presented in the table is the only logical deduction that has been made. Presumably Happiness, just like Humility is to Pride, is the opposite of Sadness. Somewhat related to this, in Ult ...

As empress, Empress Liang continued to show humility, and did not interfere significantly in her husband's administration. Emperor Shun, however, became very trustful of her relatives, and her father Liang Shang was quickly promoted repeatedly, eventually becoming Grand Marshall (大將軍).

He did, however, trust other capable and honest officials, and during his term of office, the political scene was a lot cleaner than before. Eventually, Empress Liang's brothers Liang Ji and Li ...

Aleph is the subject of a midrash which praises its humility in not demanding to start the Bible. (In Hebrew the Bible is begun with the second letter of the alphabet, Bet.) In this folktale, Aleph is rewarded by being allowed to start the Ten Commandments. (In Hebrew, the first word is 'Anokhi, which starts with an aleph.) In the Sefer Yetzirah, The letter Aleph is King over Breath, Formed Air in the universe, Temperate in the Year, and the Chest in the soul. Aleph is also the first letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. In Jewish mythology it was the letter aleph that was carved into the head ...

The Santo Niño was long considered to be the patron "saint" of Cebu. However, the Santo Niño is a representation of Jesus Christ as a child. The Catholic Church in the Philippines sets the Holy Child as an example of humility and as a celebration of the Incarnation. Many Cebuanos do not consider the Christmas Season over until the Feast of the Santo Niño. With this in mind, in 2002, Cebu Archbishop Cardinal Ricardo Vidal declared Jesus' mother Mary, under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe to be the principal patroness of Cebu. Thi ...

Even before entering Narnia, Peter demonstrates his strong moral fibre. Perhaps for this reason he undergoes the least development of the major characters; his experiences in Narnia serve primarily to strengthen his innate tendency towards humility and courage. He possesses the traits of maturity and discernment, as befits his position as King Peter the Magnificent, High King over all kings of Narnia. Given Lewis's penchant for the use of significant names (for example, Aslan is Turkish for lion), the surname "Pevensie" ...

Many of the stories that surround the life of St. Francis deal with his love for animals. Perhaps the most famous incident that illustrates the Saint’s humility towards nature is recounted in the Fioretti (The Little Flowers), a collection of legends and folk-lore that sprang up after the saint’s death. It is said that one day while Francis was traveling with some companions they happened upon a place in the road where birds filled the trees on either side. Francis told his companions to “wait for me while I go a preach to my sisters the birds.” The birds surrounded him, drawn ...

Ethics in the Bible - Aristotle / Virtue ethics. Aristotle in his ethical works focuses on virtues--i.e. laudible characteristics which ought to be cultivated, such as courage and temperance. One focus of critique might be his choice of virtues. For example, some religious traditions value humility, while others see pride as superior. (Aristotle would probably refer us to the Golden Mean, i.e., that we ought to be neither too proud, nor not proud enough.) A more fundamental critique might focus on the proj ...

Peace is everywhere recommended, and urged as the highest boon of man (Midrash Numbers Rabbah xi.; Talmud Pesachim i. 1.) Hatred, quarreling and anger are condemned as unethical, and potentially leading to murder. From the thought of a holy God emanated four virtues: (a) Chastity ("tzeniut" = "bashfulness"), which shuts the eye against unseemly sights and the heart against impure thoughts. Hence R. Meïr's maxim (Ber. 17a): "Keep your mouth from sin, your body from wrong, and I {God} will be with thee." (b) Humility. The presence of G ...
