So many of the problems that Humanity faces would be solved if pride died and humility reigned. Such a simple solution, and yet in reality so very complex.
The key I believe in this particular area is to start with personal humility, seek to ‘be the change you want to see’. In order to do that however, you need to recognise the subtlety of pride and the burden of humility.
At what point does self-confidence turn into pride?
I think it is precisely at the point where you decide that being right is more important than the relationship you have with others.
C. S. Lewis describes humility thus; “True humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is think of yourself less.”
Maybe this would lead us to think of others more. In doing so I believe we would find that much of the conflict we experience everyday would cease.
There would be more peace in the world.
“Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the earth.”
Matthew 5:5
