I’m not the parent commenter but I’ll chime in, because when I was younger I recognized what the parent is talking about. One way to think of humility is as the ability to see that you may be wrong and having the courage to accept it take action and change your thoughts and self to become right. Now you may say so what I do that all the time I learn new things and am corrected occasionally, that’s good, but sometimes learning and reason fall to dogma. Really humility brings about a great opportunity to learn and steers away from dogmatic thinking. This doesn’t mean thoughts coming from dogma are always wrong it means reason with yourself and others for truth and be open to change your mind. When your humble you are curious to learn from others, because you know you don’t know everything and separately you know that almost anyone can teach you something important if you just listen. I think one indicator of humility is empathy in a sense trying to put yourself in their shoes emotionally. A big part of humility when it comes to casual debate is understanding the argument of who your conversing with and finding common ground so that you can relate. In my religion humility is often related in different terminology as “an open heart and mind” where the opposite pride is described as being of “a closed heart and mind”. So, that shows you that it has both a feeling and thinking aspect as described above. Honestly I feel if people were truly and fully humble then we wouldn’t have as much toxicity in online debate like there is spread all across my Facebook feed and in other chat streams all across the internet heck we might even learn a lot more from it too. By the way one thing humility is not is thinking less of yourself as too often people might think. You can be confident and humble. In conclusion, humility is a catalyst for learning whereas pride (in this context) just helps you stay where you’re at and stop progressing to further knowledge which may even lead to degradation of knowledge. Of course it’s not binary there is a continuum.
