Two Methods of Humility that Are Often Ignored

While attending zoom groups in my unemployment I see a daily problem on an almost constant basis which is a lack of humility.

People promote themselves by discussing their good deeds when Jesus said to exact in secret. People waste the time of collective groups with excessive and unnecessary words in order to mark their distinction and difference from the pact. People impede the momentum of conversation by asking too many nonsensical questions so that group leaders are forced to take time out of their scheduled lectures to address the attention drainer.

Real humility involves not drawing undue attention to yourself by letting God and your own charitable cognitions satisfy your emotional and psychological need for attention and personal affirmation so that you do not feel necessitated to divert the steady flow of conversation into personal matters that address you and only you. Humility also involves a certain practice of modesty where you try to promote not only your interests but also the social and interpersonal interests of others.

Last of all, humility involves high regard for those around you, not in a flamboyant and causal way, or in a showy and double minded way, but having genuine compliance with the mental and emotional habits of others, to address them with terms of consideration and to view them in your mind with regard, and to frame your speech towards them with curious speculation about their hobbies and interests and learning experiences, and to battle your own hasty desire to drive the social discourse into self referent patterns of conduct.

To me, these are two aspects of humility that are often ignored, especially by the partisan religious excluder.

Humility is important and many don't fully acknowledge how it is properly display it or not display it 😊

Jennifer, could you please give it a rest?
There is no god or gods as never has a single one of the thousands invented by Mankind over several millennia ever manifested themselves to prove their existence.
It is really quite tedious to hear and read of people going on about their invisible friend who has yet to do anything of substance for their followers.
--The ultimate proof of the fatuousness of religious beliefs occurred between 1933 and 1945. Millions of 'god's chosen people' offered billions of prayed begging for salvation and were utterly ignored, so what hope do you, a single individual in no danger, have of eliciting a response?

Yes and no.

Biblical humility does mean not to draw undue attention to yourself. But not only for good works.

To be truly humble a Christian must be prepared to stand up and acknowledge only what God says he or she is. No more, but critically no less either.

Moses is described in the Bible as the most humble man in all the earth. And he wrote it himself.

He didn't say he was more or less than God had said he was.

Jesus was a humble man. He never claimed to be more or less than He was either.

The context of not sounding our good deeds has nothing to do with putting together a CV for a job. It's talking about our work for God. 21st Century business practices are a far cry from making ourselves out to be more godly than we actually are

I've never thought about myself but I do like your point of view.
