Next up, someone will make a film about New York being swept away in a flood or somesuch.

That Sci Fi channel has a lot to answer for. Although it did bring us Megashark v Giant Octopus, which proved to the world you can make a CGI disaster movie for less than a family shop at Lidl. The sequels and spin offs were poor variations on the theme.

Was reading a book last night, it was Business stuff, but it quoted this expression, which really struck a chord. It sounds almost Biblical.

The exalted will be humbled, & the humble will be exalted

The Biblical equivalent would likely be "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth"

Maybe, but in current usage, surely "meek" & "humble" (or humility) are different things?

Surely, these days, to be seen to be meek implies weakness of personality or character? I know that is not the true meaning (or I do now.....), but most of us equate meekness to weakness, surely?

Whereas, surely, humility is a plus, usually seen as an admirable trait?
