Reflection - 30 Humility Matters

                          Humility Matters
Humility... Humility... Humility... 

Why do people insist so much on it? Why should we make others just to walk onto stamp us for just being humble?🤔🧐🤔🧐

Most of the times I felt so bad when people irritate me but I go in silence... Is that humility? Or When others pretend as though they are holy to walk in a very easy path to success and we sit in a corner of a thorny bush.... Is that humility?🤔🤔🧐🧐

I wonder how to find a humble person in this fast running selfish world. How could this humility takes up its place today???

Being silent for all matters is not humility...
It's Indifference
Being a dump follower is not humility...
It's blind obedience
Being fearful is not humility...
It's cowardice
Being a புடிச்சு வச்ச புள்ளையாரு for social evil is not humility
It's  நமக்கு எதுக்கு வேண்டாத வேலை

Then what is humility?
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

In order to explain this simply Confucius comes to our mind. He says Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues. You might have heard this in a different way. 

        "Humility is the Mother of all Virtues."

Let us analyse how...

# Take for example Honesty: A very basic element of being so honest is to find out what is right and what is not. When we have "I know everything" attitude we won't be able to get the right thing into our mind and so we cannot be right all the time. 

# Trustworthy: When will you be considered trustworthy? Only when you behave selflessly with honesty to those whomsoever concerned. This trustworthiness arises in a person only if he / she gains the confidence of being in a state to believe you in some serious matters. 

How will they gain that belief in you ??? Only when we are humble enough to listen to them. When we give our ears soaked in time, they will give their enough to us. Because...
Not only honesty, trustworthiness or selflessness carry humility in their bosom but all the other virtues do it. Only when we are humble we will learn. If not our learning just stops at that very moment when we think 'I know that you shut up'. Pride never even gives a small mat for humility to sleep in a corner of its room.

Hence Saint Augustine would beautifully say 
Let us be learn the art of being humble. 

Choosing the right for ourselves and helping others to choose it, is humility...
Forgiveness is humility...
Selfless service is humility...
Empathy comes from humility...

In My personal perspective
"Drive off yourself by making others happy in their  life and being happy by watching them smile (laugh) and getting intoxicated in the service humankind is a better form of humility." 

Jesus did that....
# In Blind man's life, 
# For the deaf, dumb & lame
# For Zacchaeus
# For Canaanite, Samaritan women
# For Mary Magdalene & the Prostitute woman
# For Dismas, the good their at the time of death. 
Even He showed the best for humility at the time of His Last Supper when he washed the feet of His Disciples. 

So let us be humble inside Jesus for 
Let's Pray:
Lord lead me in the path less trodden for humility and make me an instrument to prosper it through your grace. Amen.
