The condition of human relationship are honesty and humility. We often never trust other for we never know whether that person is honest. We forgive any fault but not something against honesty. We look forward for persons who are humble and approachable and not those who make us feel scared off. When the parents approach a school to admit the child we look for an administrator approachable and a teacher cordial. Often in certain countries when we approach the authority are are scared. Humility is the base, honesty is the trunk upon which we erect ourselves. A humble person tolerates and forgives. He will never have adversaries. Often the main cause of conflict is lack of humility and lack of transparency. Do we prefer humility?

Prefer it?..Well, I'd say I have a bit of humility in that by nature I am a support type person. I'm usually not foremost in my mind. But I don't expect folks to be so for me (usually..sometimes the ego rares its head)..Granted, I'd like to see it more in folks but I can't say that I expect it. But I do expect to be it and, I suppose, teach by example.

humility many not be articulated as to be timid or feel less than others. Humility is a virtue. In spite of being great willing to bend down towards lowly with love and compassion.

No one can say "WE prefer humility", it's different from person to person. I actually prefer humility. I know i am less important than many people, actually. Everything is based on how your parents teached you the RESPECT. If you respect people, consequentially you are modest and honest.

hi friend.,, yes your absolutely correct.Honesty is very important and Humility or humanity is very important.We do search for good people around us .Many a times we may get dis honesty we may forgive and forget.If the base and the trunk are safe then the plant will be in good condition with leaves and fruits.Every thing is important for a plant to be in good condition.We humans too need many to be ourselves.
