HUMILITY;-A MISUNDERSTOOD VIRTUE. by philoedu(m): 10:12am On Jul 07, 2018
[b][/b]In humility there is no presumption of superiority. When one is humble it is generally said to be discrete and not intrusive. Humility does not take notice of virtue according to some school of thought. Although, some other school of thought, would make us to believe humility is but a sign of timidity or even an incapacity of self-evaluation. While others come to see humility as under estimation of one’s personality, a deligitimation of self before others, which is synonymous to a weakness at best.

In this point of view, it simply means any one with humble spirit is almost a convenient individual that could be taken undue advantage of at any given time and place. It is an individual prone to humiliation and even unduly used at will. But it must be emphasized that this is but a secularized interpretation and in particular a sociological concept of humbleness, that has come to exhaust the real significant of the exact Christian concept of humbleness.

It is also true that the Christian concept of humbleness is a term quite different from the ordinary usage due to its radical foundation. In this perspective humility is an essential virtue among others, necessary due to reason of moderation, and its attribute quality. It must be stressed, that it will be wrong to attribute certain quality and endowment that does not in any form fit into a particular personality.
The same is true that such mistake could equally be grievous to assume it is an act of humbleness.

Make no mistake that humility does not mean an adjustment for the sake of doing so, but toward an act of impersonality and the knowledge of Wisdom of which Solomon was an epitome.

In recent times, the French President-Macron has become an epitome of Humility, in what come to be attributed to be his “Shift in critical thinking”- to teach critical thinking in a different perspective, which is the “failure tolerant leadership”. Such that if it was forbidden to fail and forbidden to succeed, the theory in the “shift in critical thinking” now advocate that “true Humility as an asset is not thinking less of yourself, rather thinking of yourself less”.

The same is true that Pride is all about my glory, while humility is all about the glory of God. According to one Clemenceau .G “Life get interesting, if you fail because it means we have surpassed ourselves”. And in humility and tolerance we can do it better as we adjust to get it right, which is a shift in critical thinking that we all must be willing to take up as a challenge with a sense of responsibility.
