About This Quote
Humility is a quality that has been considered very important in many cultures throughout history. The idea behind humility is that it brings a person closer to God. In a sense, it is a key to enlightenment and the highest levels of wisdom. But why is humility so important? It brings forth the realization that we are not the center of the universe and that we do not hold all of the answers.
As we learn to embrace this idea, we free ourselves from our ego and begin to realize that we are just as imperfect as everyone else. When we feel humble, we become more accepting and forgiving.
