Humility

Abstract

True humility is not a character trait but wisdom, an apprehension of the facts. It’s when you have a psychological need for the facts about you to be different that you veer into arrogance or self-effacing. I have yoyo’d between these two throughout my life, but I was by far the happiest at times and in areas where I was humble. Humility is its own reward, because it’s the result of self-acceptance and self-love.
