Humble people do not boast about their successes. Practicing humility is a daily exercise that moves with the responsibility to do things well, to commit oneself, to do what is necessary and necessary, with authenticity. It is the little things that weave the truly important acts, those simple codes that bring us so much: a smile, a word, a gesture of empathy. It is something that cannot be bought, but comes from the deepest part of our being; aspects that are installed in our memory.
That is why, knowing how to listen, knowing how to understand silences, being receptive, close, complicit and sincere, are characteristics that define humble people. Those who give us so much confidence and where we should look for true friends. The value of humanity does not require material objects, the "intangible" dimensions are almost always those that bring us true well-being, true happiness. And this is where true quality of life lies.
In this sense, being humble is opposed to vain pride, which goes beyond that which has to do with self-respect and individual dignity. When the frog in our fable decides to reject the toad, he does so because he is ugly to her, but he does it in an arrogant way, as if with superiority. And the fact is that arrogant behavior does not define humble people. It is about understanding who we are without the need to remind the rest of the world in the form of achievements and successes.
Humility is a quality and a behavior that places us before others, so we can say that it can be practiced in any action we take. Overflowing humility is very beautiful, as long as we know which are the limits to reach. It helps us to improve ourselves, to be kind and fraternal with us, to find authentic people who love us, to value the effort to achieve what makes us happy.
There are even people who do not like individuals who preach the importance of recognizing one's own limitations but who, nevertheless, believe that they are more than others because they lack humility. Nor do they like those who flaunt their virtues. They are the two sides of the coin, false humility and affected humility. The one that only exists in appearance and that lives with airs of superiority wherever it goes. It is the same that even when we cannot perceive it in that conscious way, causes us to reject it.
Furthermore, to be humble is not to feel inferior to others, but to submit, not to surrender. Humble people are not vulnerable to scorn, they simply know their limitations, accept them and live with them. At the same time, they allow their virtues to be known by their actions, not by their words. However, an arrogant person cannot sleep at night because his dark feelings corrupt his rest.
Finally, to be humble is not to allow ourselves to be beaten but to admit our mistakes, to be intelligent enough to learn from them and to be mature enough to correct them. Lack of humility is the evidence of people who think only of themselves and believe they are superior or better than others. That they are not humble generates certain social rejection consciously or unconsciously which causes loneliness to accompany it. This is because we dislike selfishness, even if it is subtle. Not believing ourselves to be more than others is a gift that we have to work on every day.
Do you think humility should be practiced more in society?
