COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The other day YouTube showed me a video proclaiming a message about Humility and I found it a little troubling. The apparent message was that humility consists essentially in not talking trash and beating someone who does. This got me thinking. What that video was really focused on was modesty. To be modest, one seeks to understate or minimize one’s own advantages, virtues, or other positive traits. And while humble people are often modest, modest people are not necessarily humble. In fact, I think we commonly see social influencers who deliberately put on airs of false modesty because they know it plays better, despite the fact that their operation as a whole functions only because in truth they seek self glorification. The word for this is vanity. Although that word is now often used primarily to refer to one’s own interest in appearance, the fundamental meaning is that one seeks the approval of others, typically by emphasizing one’s own virtues. So now the opposites of vanity and modesty can be seen. But these are really about what one projects to the outside world. By contrast, humility, and it’s counterpoint pride, are concerned with the state of one’s heart. It does a man no good to quietly bear the taunts of vainglory if in his heart he consoles himself with prideful assurances of his own superiority. A modest man can still revel and desire the glory for himself, and it can even motivate his modesty. Humility is giving up the glory because you see that it is not your own, but rather acknowledging the One to whom all glory is due.
