Buddy Up weekly word, Humility

Humility is this weeks word from the Drop in the Ocean channel in the Buddy Up group on Discord. https://discord.gg/3d5H3K8

WTF, where do I start on a topic like this? Who thought up this word to write about?
I don't even know what the word means. Well, that's nothing new I could say the same for most of the English language. So to move to my understanding of what humility would be.

I would consider myself to be humble in some ways. The things I may do for others, I do not look for thank you's for. more often others will not know a deed I have done. I find someone else to relieve my boasting on and disperse my humility.

The things I know or have learned have taught me one thing, there is always more to learn. There will always be something else you can learn,

When I came to Steemit at first I was humbled by the rewards others were getting for their posts. I could see the posts were presented better than the posts I wrote. I had to learn how to use the markdown to make my posts hold a better presentation. This start of humble beginnings and the struggle to grow humble newbies even more so. The Steemit platform seems to have those who are humble and those who hold pride, last weeks word.

There are those who are let's say well to do on the platform. Anything they post gets voted on by their followers. A newbie with much greater quality posts gets no reward. (this I know is due to many factors, the audience they reach, did they promote their post in discord,) Reasons why aside, these things humble people. As we grow ourselves be it in Steemit or other area's of life, do our successes change our humility to pride and our memories forget from where we rose from?

Then you have the guy who does much for a community and gives that credit away. He humbles himself before the community. With a verbal gesture of it was all of us or I could not have done it alone. I only did what anyone would have done. More often this is not true, not everyone would do the same. Does this place the good doer below the rest?

Humble is generaly viewed with a lower position. Coming from humble beginnings. Eating humble pie. There are some with wealth and power who are humble. there are people of all sorts at all levels. Humble though it seems, holds difference dependant on standing, maybe.

I think this quote from Sir Thomas More.

"To be humble to superiors is a duty, to equals is courtesy, to inferiors is nobleness, and to all, safety.

Sums up humility to a T, and I maybe should of put that quote in and left the post at that.
