[+3] - roger - 06/11/2016Nobody is more humble than I.
[+3] - Miss L Toad - 06/11/2016I can't but agree and meekly concur with your sentiment. It reminds me muchly of the less fortunate and more deserving. Your gracious modesty is humbling....
[+3] - neologist - 06/12/2016Bah! Humble!
[+3] - Tes yeux noirs - 06/12/2016There's a word, 'humblebragging' I seem to have heard a lot lately. Manufactured modesty as a guise for overt bragging.

That which seeks approval and praise is not humility. It is something else which is repulsive.

@Seizan,

Me too. I'm also very famous, but don't tell anybody. They don't know it yet.

@Tes yeux noirs,

Not me, man. My church has the highest steeple in town, not to mention the most humble congregation.

@Amel Mrissa,

Humility is a virtue - AND - A Virtue 'projected' is no Virtue at all.
A virtue 'reflected' is true.

Humility strives only to do the right thing, and go unnoticed.

@Amel Mrissa,

Good question and you can easily substitute "humble" with generous, compassionate etc

I don't think all people of good character are so because they appreciate recognition, but I think a lot are, and that's not necessarily a bad thing unless you are a stern judging God.
