What
is humility? Humility is a virtue that
describes the quality or state of not thinking you are better than other people.
This is a virtue that I believe that everyone should have but it’s difficult
for everyone to obtain. People in society nowadays have too much pride. They
feel that everything and anything that they do is not wrong. This, in turns
leads to problems in our community. Society begins to clash because individuals
have different views that may go against our own and because we have too much
pride to just tolerant it, things can get chaotic. We as a society place
ourselves on a high pedestal and are afraid to step down from it because we freight
the judgment that others may place on us. But if we humble ourselves we wouldn’t
have to worry about this.
People
should try to achieve the state of humility because it has its benefits that
comes with it. When a person is humble they develop a sense of high
self-control. Once they lose the obsession with the self, they have more
strength and energy to give to the world. They aren’t spending tremendous amount
of time worried about themselves but they are spending the time to help out
others. Another benefit of being humble is having a low sense of entitlement. People
who are humble don’t think that they are owed things. This results to less
prejudiced views in the world. Because humble people don’t feel like they are
entitled to things, they tend to be more open-minded and tolerant to others
views and beliefs. This helps decrease the amount of tension and or arguments
that may possibly happen in the world. Being humble is one key to a strong and a
successful life.
These
findings have important consequences for the broader domain of community. When
you take the time to humble yourself, you are working on a better you and this
will helps out your community. When you bring positive vibes into the world,
you get positive vibes back.

I also think that this is a difficult virtue to obtain, because do take too much pride in themselves and do not have much pride for others. But I do think everyone should obtain this virute, so I agree with the statement that you are arguing.
ReplyDeleteI think that humility is an important virtue to have but do you feel as if too much humbleness might make society as a whole weak? I do however agree with you but feel that the humbling of a prideful individual is very difficult and maybe at times impossible.
