Humility
well now for me.... that is a difficult topic to actually nail down.
There is a fine line between humility and poor self esteem, and I have not
mastered the difference yet. The dictionary definition of humility is
meekness, modesty, lower yourself, to lower your self esteem, and worth.
Yet, to do so to the extreme can be detrimental to one's self. If your self
esteem is too low, you will not be able to function properly, and actually
lead to self hate at time. This, is not humility. I think, from what I
have learned so far, that humility is to not consider yourself better than
others and to love others. Then, if you are on an equal plane with others,
you will not be prideful, and you will not have self esteem problems.
