This jug is pretty, pretty smug.
And that there is the long and short of it. You either like it or you don't. Think what you want, the jug careth not. Just look at it

Really.
Alex. Yes, really.
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.
Leonard Ravenhill
To be contented and self-satisfied, to lead a quit, easy-going life, accomplishing only what duty prescribes, is not a good sign. After having done all that our Christian profession requires of us, our Lord nevertheless wishes us to consider ourselves useless servants of His Church: 'So you also, when you shall have done all things commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants.' Therefore how much more useless we ought to consider ourselves, if we live in tepidity and sloth, by which we are still so far removed from that perfection to which we are bound.
Humility of Heart by Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo, “Thoughts & Sentiments XX.” An online version is available here.
"Damn good, wasn't I?"
