Humility (adjectival form: humble) is variously seen as the act or posture of lowering oneself in relation to others, or conversely, having a clear perspective and respect for ones place in context. In a religious context this can mean a recognition of self in relation to a deity or deities, acceptance of ones defects, and submission to divine grace or as a member of an organized, hierarchical religion. Absent a religious context humility can still take on a moral and/or ethical dimension. Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, often in contrast to narcissism, hubris and other forms of pride. Humility definition by definition can also be the quality or condition of being humble. Adapt Store : bit.ly/1fKNitJ
