Humility and Being Humble
Humility is one of mankind's most widely loved personality traits. Social groups, whether they are religions or cultural, nearly all preach the necessity of humility. It is a widely held belief that to be humble, is to be good. Being good is crucial in a society where those who are good are rewarded, whereas those who are bad are punished.
Humility is defined as a modest or low view of one's own importance. Modesty is defined as the quality of not being too proud or confident about yourself or your abilities. Taking a good look at these definitions, it becomes immediately apparent that humility is not actually beneficial to our lives; in fact, it is detrimental.
In this episode, Teal explains that Humility is not a virtue. She explains that humility prevents us from knowing our own divinity and it causes us to live half of the life we came here to live.
