Pride brags about accomplishments, humility pleads for compassion. Pride negotiates as an equal, humility approaches in need. Pride separates by putting others down, Humility identifies with others recognizing that we all have the same need. Pride destroys with it’s alienating self-service; Humility opens doors with its power to sympathize with the struggle we share. Pride turns up it’s nose; humility offers an open and lifted-up hand.
Humility is harder to discuss because it does not discuss itself. It simply gets out there and serves, often with sacrifice. It does not claim rights; it tries to do what is right. It does not brag about integrity; it displays.
