Part 9: What do you have left when you are stipped bare?

I used to believe so strongly in the ‘virtue’ of humility.
However, is humility a virtue? Or is it something that a coward hangs on to. An excuse to stay silent and hiden and not prove his worth nor his ability..

Is humility......
Humility is not self sacrifice nor hiding your true abilities and nature.
Humilty does not mean you hide away in silence and turn away from adversity.
Humility is to remain steadfast in the truth. And to remain faithful, unwavering in the truth. There is no need to run. There is no need to hide.
There is no need to prove yourself, no need to be flashy nor flamboyant.
Just by daily living, though others may not see and value it, though others may jibe and laugh at you, though others may misunderstand and talk behind your back, to remain true in your beliefs and truth.

What is humilty then?
I'll post it under : Devotions and Inspirations.

A man must live on certain principles and beliefs. He must stay consistent and strong in his beliefs. It is what differenciates him from others. It is what makes him unique. It is his attitudes, his beliefs, his principles, and his ability to remain consistent in them at all times, even in adversity, that makes up his character and his worth.
When everything is stripped bare from him, all he has left are these. These are the things that maketh a man. These are the only true possessions that he owns.
Have you ever been stripped bare and discovered who you really are?

When you have given everything of yourself, and had everything taken away from you. What's left? Do you have any virtues that warrant you to be deserving in the first place?
