Humility is a virtue from "summary" of The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay
In the harsh and unforgiving landscape of South Africa, where strength and power were often the only things that mattered, humility was a rare and precious quality. It was a virtue that was often overlooked or dismissed as weakness, but in reality, it was a strength of its own. Humility was not about being meek or submissive; it was about knowing one's place in the world and being content with it. It was about recognizing one's own limitations and imperfections, and being willing to learn from others. It was about treating everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of their social status or background. In a world where pride and arrogance were rampant, humility stood out like a beacon of light. It was a quality that drew people to you, that made them want to be around you. It was a quality that inspired trust and loyalty, that made others respect and admire you. Humility was not something that could be learned overnight; it was a lifelong journey of self-discovery and growth. It required constant reflection and self-examination, a willingness to admit when one was wrong and to learn from one's mistakes. It required a deep sense of inner strength and confidence, a belief in oneself that was not dependent on the approval of others. In the end, humility was a virtue that brought peace and harmony to one's life. It allowed for genuine connections with others, for meaningful relationships built on mutual respect and understanding. It was a virtue that transcended all barriers and boundaries, that united people in a common bond of humanity. In a world that often valued power and dominance above all else, humility was a rare and precious gift. It was a virtue that could transform the lives of those who embraced it, that could lead them on a path of inner peace and fulfillment. It was a virtue that was truly worth striving for, a virtue that could change the world in ways both big and small.
