Humility
Humility, as a word and as an ideal, has a very bad time
of it in our world. Not only is the idea misunderstood; the
word itself is often intensely disliked. Many people haven’t
even a nodding acquaintance with humility as a way of life.
Much of the everyday talk we hear, and a great deal of what
we read, highlights man’s pride in his own achievements.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Seven) p. 70
Thought to Ponder . . .
Humility is dependence on God, as pride is independence of Him.
