You would not believe how humble I am. I excel at it. I’m better at being humble than you are.

I posed your About statement to Google, here is the response:
Saying that you are more humble than anyone else is widely considered to be a contradiction in terms and is generally perceived negatively [1]. Humility, by definition, involves a modest view of one’s self-importance; the moment a person claims to possess more of it than others, they are demonstrating a lack of that very quality.
Being humble is not a competition.

My hhumor is often “reductio ad absurd um.” in other words, my statement about humility is absurd and cannot possibly be true.

Not everyone see’s things like you do. I now understand, but I read your about statement to my wife without telling her the other details. She came back with the same thing that I first said. I do take things literal including the Bible except where I know that it is a metaphor. So it is very easy to misinterpret that kind of statement.

About Me
Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.
Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.
Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
