Virtue-Humility

A lot of stress is given in self help books and life in general about principles and the right ones to follow.... while an underrated quality is virtue.. virtues are no less important than principles. virtues are those morally thingies like honesty, patience, courage and my favorite humility.. among the family of virtues humility is one of the least emphasized....
humility shud not be mistaken with modesty cos they are closely related.. modesty is the virtue of thinking that what you have achieved is not the best.. but humility is believing in that you as an individual are not the best.. there are other far better n far superior to you. Humility should not be considered as a sign of subservience or cowardice.... Humility is not something that is achieved over night, you have to genuinely try to attain that level.. the more humble you become the more pious your heart and soul will tend to be.. Humility enables you to accept that you are wrong and since only human; capable of making mistakes. It empowers you with the strength of self motivation and self goal to achieve higher ambitions.
It is rather simple to belittle someone who according to you is not as capable as you in your fields of expertise.. but there is no human who is not inept at something.... The greatness of the person doesnt lie in demonstrating pride of their knowledge or skill, but in humbly assisting the other person to perform the task.
how many times have we said.. or we have been told..if u dont understand then dont ask, or if you dont know nething abt the subject dont bother me... if a person was aware of the situation or understood.. they wont bother to ask you.. their ignorance is not the flaw.. your pride and arrogance is the flaw.. so next time you insult some1 for being clueless... remember you too are not perfect....
