Hi nVee,

Humility is a very loaded term, IMO. It can be threatening in cultures where individualism and achievement are core values.

Thinking in Buddhist terms, I tend to equate humility with simplicity.

A simple way of life can be obtained as a result of a mind not entangled with things.

When this is obtained because a mind that is at peace with life, then live becomes a joyful experience in its simplicity.
