Well Idk
@HealingInProcess , I must say, I've not googled a definition, I just recall it comes from the word 'humus', meaning earth. I would say not so much practice, as orientation or thoughts- we start as earth and end that way; the dirt that's blowing in the wind, ultimately is part of the people who all passed before us, and that will be us too. Not downplaying or not-celebrating joyful things or accomplishments, but realizing they're: 'nice'. But they're still dependent on God, or even our strengths are; that others are better at some things, we at others, always someone better still. Idk, not defining one's self by things or qualities, but recognizing everyone is different but equal?
I suppose, to me, it's the internal climate that precludes needing to boast, a lot of gratitude and realizing that even good things are or have been so dependent on the actions of others before us, or just God and good timing. That many that are more deserving may not have what we do already, or have struggles that prevented it. But also, that one shouldn't run themself down, either, which isn't humility but more like self-hatred.
So Idk, the long way of saying the same long-range perspective that comes with saying thank you, I think.
If that makes sense. (Just a guess). :rolleyes:
