Vatican Canteen

The Pope was referred to as "humble" because he stood in line with his tray to get lunch at the Vatican canteen, just like ordinary people.  Why is this humble?  It should be routine.  Even if you are a great person, you should not get a lot of perks.  Ordinary is just fine.  Why do we have to strive for some title or $$$ so that we will be treated as "special?"  We are all equally special.  The Pope was just doing what the carpenter from small town Narareth did for most of his life.  I think the Kingdom is about how special the ordinary is, and how loved we are in our everyday world.  Know this and you will do marvelous things.  But don't let it go to your head.  The Buddha said we are dung heaps.
