Have you ever met someone who seems very humble, quiet, meek and calm?
That you felt pity to help them? Maybe they were so down and you thought this person needs a lift but then something can shift.

 That person you think is very timid or shy or very humble can transform into someone bold, fierce and leave you stunned. That is a big difference between a humble person and a humbled person. 

 As a human, you must not distinguish between a humble person and a humbled person. You must not to distinguish between authenticity and the mask some people wear sometimes.

A humble person always carries a quiet strength. He or she chooses to put others first not because he is in a life forcing the condition to do so but he or she does that willingly and it is who they are. Their humility comes from their hearts and it is rooted in showing kindness to others and their gratitude towards life. 

A humbled person on the other way is a very it's a it's a different ball game entirely. They are humbled by life circumstances not not as if it is their nature to be humble. Maybe they just lost a job or they are struggling financially or they are just a public failure who people have pushed them into a corner.  This situation can make them seem humble but that humility you thought, it is is often not by their choice, you just attempt at just to mask out their passes. 

I have learned this the other way I can remember a day when I met someone who seemed like they needed a help, they were speaking so softly sharing the stories of their struggle. My heart felt for them so I decided to lend them some money to help themselves and they even thanked me and promised to pay me back on a certain day.

 I trusted their society and was so kind to them but when that day came, there was a certain changes. Something shocked me. this  person that was acting timid and so humble, I  thought I knew started acting like a wild cat roaring at me like a lion, becoming defensive even more aggressive when I asked for my loan back.

It wasn't just about the money, it was just coming to a realization that humility was just an act. On that one stage, just the performance, just orchestrated for that particular situation at that moment, not their main character, just the performance, just orchestrated for that particular situation at that moment, not their main character. 

And this taught me a lot of lessons that true humility isn't a bad situation. it isn't a bad situation. A humble person will always stay whether life sees him or not. But a humbled person might just be waiting for a moment to manipulate and use you.

 So what is the lesson here? The lesson is to be kind but also be wise.  What is the lesson here?
The lesson is be kind, but also be wise.
Select your kindness. Know the people you help. Don't assume you know the heart of everybody. And most importantly, you can also strive to be humble, not humbled.

 Choose to be sincere. And most importantly, you can also strive to be humble, not humbled. Showcase your humility. Even though your life has put you in a high place, put in the high places or low places. No one sees you. 

So as a human being, let's aim to live a life of humility, not it is who you are. When no one sees you. So as a human being, let's aim to live a life of humility. not because we are dumb in life, but because it shows our true character, one that inspires. Not because we are dumb in life, but because it shows our true character.
