Humility part 1

We often talk of humility as an important virtue. But I believe humility is one of the trickiest virtues to acquire. When I look at my own inner life and try to be as honest as I can, I find how boastfulness, pride and other traits often sneak into my conversations with people. I talk a little too much about going to the gym and staying in shape. I catch myself wanting to sound smart and educated when I talk about certain topics to people. Even when I admit my lack of humility to others, there is a part of me that seems to say: “Look at me! Look how humble I am for admitting my shortcomings.”
