Humility, no thanks. Root word of humiliation. I'll take pride thanks. I am a proud patriot. Proud father. Proud small business owner. Earn pride by acting in ways one can be proud of.
Words are fun - those are good examples
BTW humility, the noun form of humble, is different from humiliation. Hum- is also the root of humble. Literally, like humus, "on the ground." Jesus was reportedly a "down-to-earth", "grounded", humble guy. And he was Jesus Christ, for His sake! Qeq :) It really says a lot about a person to be that humble while being literally superhuman.
Humble doesn't mean being a lowlife or slave, or having no pride in your cleanliness or your children; just not doing stuff like being boastful and self-centered, taking all the credit for what was really a team accomplishment, etc.
