In general, humility is defined as the opposition to pride or arrogance: Humility, then, is a virtue that appears in moments of boom or when an achievement has been achieved from which one can change their attitude or persist in the one they had before.
This is why it is not wrong to say that among all the virtues, humility is one of those that are difficult to acquire orally, and must be learned over time, precisely when that moment of prosperity arrives.
One of the main sources of humility is religion, because the superiority and divinity of God in this area is unattainable by people. The Christian Bible insists on many occasions regarding humility, and the figure of Jesus Christ there is essential to understand it.
It should be considered that the mere absence of pride is not a realization of humility, and there are many cases where, with the intention of being humble, one ends up hurting oneself or others. A person who is not capable of sharing his achievements with others, due to the possibility of hurting the pride of those who have not achieved it, are not humble and should review their friendships.
The same occurs for those who feel guilty about the achievements they have, or do not value the effort they have had to make to achieve it. A good exercise of humility He does not deprive himself of recognizing his own effort, nor of sharing his own joys: he simply values himself just as he is capable of valuing others.
