I think we're talking about different kinds of ambition.

    This comes off as very condescending.

      It is not. There is an association with ambitious and grandiose in general language at times. I think it is related to whole 'the meek shall inherent earth' way of thinking. Which is a whole other debate if we get into the gospels of Matthew, Luke and Q issue. Which if you follow the logic of the statement to Matthew 5:3 it related more to an understanding of poverty and conduct. Ironically very much in line with something Marcus Aurelius would say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_5:5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_5:5 So I get the confusion, because I used to make the same error.
