Interesting thread, thanks for the shares. I'm not quite ready to share my version of this yet but will at some point in the future when it pulls together in my head more stably.
One thing - diffingo - what you describe sounds quite a lot like the theory of Karma from buddhism. The "universal force" of cause and effect, action-reaction, etc. I like that concept a lot and a similar principle is what forms the basis of my personal view on ethics and moral values. For me, there is more subjective content to my own main driving force, but the chain of events and actions affecting each-other (I like to include myself as a component of an interrelated web) is definitely part of it.
OK, I will write about this more when I can describe relatively clearly, it's pretty complex in my mind right now.

More on humility:
Humility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alcohol sure humbled me. I fought a good fight, lol, but in the end it brought me right down to my knees.
