Humility -2

This is the second talk on Humility. On being humble. The qualities we identify as being humble, are held up in the Metta Sutta but humility, the word isn’t used. That’s sort of interesting.

It begins this way, “One skilled in the good, should be capable and upright, straightforward and easy to speak to, gentle and not proud, contented and easily supported, living with few duties, wise and calm, not arrogant, and without greed for supporters, and should not do the least thing that the wise would criticize.”

The Western idea of being humble, is said to be virtuous. Humble people don’t like to draw attention to themselves.
The opposite of humble is being uncomfortable. Not uncomfortable for you; but it's uncomfortable for others. The opposite would be arrogance, a sense of superiority over other people.
