What Exactly Is The Importance Of HUMILITY? by Nobody: 7:37pm On Jun 06, 2019
Okay,

I want to know your honest opinions on humility.

I think humility, especially in Nigeria is overrated and useless.

Please think before typing.

I'd edit this after you've shared your thought

I'd edit this tomorrow.
I also know what humility means but why is it deemed important?

Is it to make others comfortable?

Last line is insultive. Since the Op arrogates herself the almighty stance. Let her be the judge and the jury.

I think humility means not regarding yourself more important than others, including those that have achieved less than you are.

Humility is the quality of being humble and means putting the needs of another person before your own, and thinking of others before yourself. It also means not drawing attention to yourself, and it can mean acknowledging that you are not always right.

It is also the absence of pride.

Men and women are supposed to be humble.

Humility is one very important virtue every Christian must have, but you need to possess it in a way that glorifies God. Here are 10 times the bible talked about being humble.

1. Philippians 2: 3-11 : Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men...

2. James 4:6 : But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

3. Luke 14: 11 : For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

4. Proverbs 22:4 : The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

5. 1 Peter 5:6 : Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you...

6. Romans 12:3 : For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

7. Colossians 3:12 : Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.

8. Proverbs 11:12 : When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

9. 1 Peter 5:5 : Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

10. Jeremiah 9:23 : Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches

Humility is Messi.
Pride is Ronaldo.
None is better. The just speak to your character and what you think of yourself. I think hustlers are the proudest people. They deserve to be cos they worked hard for it. Talented and privileged people are more humble.
If you are speaking in terms of man and woman, I don't know.

Privileged people who have had everything handed to them and work half as hard as anyone else are rarely humble. They are usually arrogant and entitled and unsympathetic to others because they belive they got to where they were by 'hard work'

Lol jokes aside I think it’s being able acknowledge my shortcomings, though not necessarily playing down my successes, but not lording it over others either (unless they deserve it grin). If you don’t have even a little of it you lack self awareness
