Off topic, but i thought i would find some enlightening people here.

Can anyone here enlighten me on something called Humility, how does it

manifest itself in your life, or the lives of those around you, can we

humans seek to learn it if for some reason we dont experience it

though our lives? If so, how do we go about learning this?

I am not sure this is a particularly good forum to be discussing such a

profoundly philosophical topic. I am not even sure I know - but I believe

humility may be the opposite of pride. One way to test this theory is to do

good deeds whenever you have the opportunity and then not mention that you did

them. See how the ego reacts.

I just take a look at one of the magnificent creatures in this world like a

hippopotimus or an elephant and I get instantly humbled. The creator of that

animal is much greater than I. Being in a relationship also humbles me. I

realize my own arrogance, inability to communicate lovingly and lots of other

things I'd rather not know about myself. That makes me humble. It seems like

if a person lives long enough, it eventually happens. But it is a wonderful

question. Thanks for asking.

Hey Jonathan,

 

Personally, I think this is a good question for all people to

ponder. Thanks for posing it.

 

To me, expressing myself from a place of humility is the opposite of

expressing myself from ego. It's a moment by moment practice and,

since like most of us here, I'm still in a human body (ego) I

sometimes fail at it miserably.

 

Other times, I amaze even myself with acts of humility. Which feels

better in my being? Which brings me joy and peace? Why, HUMILITY of

course!

 

Each holds pearls of wisdom.

Looking at a newborn child makes me feel very humble. When you think of

the incredible gift that we have been given in such a very small package it

almost brings me to my knees. Such responsibility, such trust in those

eyes that can almost see inside your soul. At least that's what it does for

me.

Good question, wrong forum.

 

My personal feeling about people

who are excessively concerned about

humility is that they have huge

spiritual pretensions with egos to match.

 

The truly humble don't feel the need to

go on about humility.

 

As for me, I am enjoying this Earth dimension,

and am not really looking for enlightenment just

yet.

If the limelight of attention and approval occasionally

falls on me, I shall unabashedly bask in it, ego and all.
