Topic: What is "Grace"? | |
---|---|
I've heard, it is getting out of the shower to pee in correct recepticles even when you know, no one but YOU will know...... Wait, that's the def. of "class". hahaha blah blah blah
Is it a 12yo cancer patient making flippant self-deprecating jokes so she can make "everyone else" feel more comfortable? Is it not taking the credit, because what you have accomplished is "enough"? Is it admitting that your're NOT necessarily "brave" but you'd like to help. (brave, in itself)...... What does "Grace" mean to you? |

Doing a good thing then walking away without a word.

I once read that grace means more than gifts. In grace something is transcended, once and for all overcome. Grace happens in spite of something; it happens in spite of separateness and alienation. Grace means that life is once again united with life, self is reconciled with self. Grace means accepting the abandoned one. Grace transforms fate into a meaningful vocation. It transforms guilt to trust and courage. The word grace has something triumphant in it.

What does "Grace" mean to you? grace is behaving well without personal insult or knocking things over (in a literal sense). An individual with grace can whoop it up at the office Christmas Party and somehow , inexplicably , remain out of trouble... |

Grace? Isn't that when you trip at the top of the stairs but get your feet back under you before you reach the bottom?

Learn to limit yourself; to content yourself with some definite work; dare to be what you are and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not; and to believe in your own individuality.Godspeed!Cy

To give selflessly to others/ random acts of kindeness, puts you in a state of grace. To walk gracefully is different. One is physical. One is spiritual.

Grace is something that is seeded internally.... a calm, a positive presences, a tranquility ... that radiates from the person that can be felt and seen by others and has an effect on others.

I think that some of what folks are calling Grace here, would be what I would categorize under another facet I admire, and aspire to: Honor.
Honor, is when you do as you claim to believe in all the time, whether someone is watching or not. For me, Grace is more of a HOW YOU DO things. I try to obey my sense of honor, with Grace. This means that I don't push my beliefs in others faces. I don't brag about BEING honorable, as though I deserve a medal for it. When others make mistakes, I don't make fun of them, or "pile on." |
