Humility

So today I'd like to share with us a little about humility.
what does it take to be humble?
I can boldly tell you it takes absolutely nothing to be humble, let me tell you a story
There was this girl who worked in a pastry shop, she loved to help people, she never looked down on anyone, she was a graduate and also had experience in different spheres of life, she secretly had her own pastry shop with so many employees, now the people who came to patronise the pastry shop didn't know all these so they tend to look down on her and sometimes talk down and verbally abuse her, this happened everyday, so one day a customer came and wasn't happy with the way the girl was working then he scolded her, insulted her, made mockery of the kind of job she took on, he went as far as body shaming her, this really got to her and she said no more!
The girl took off her uniform, quit her job, went to a store and bought poison, then she ran home drank the poison and died, she did leave a note behind and it read:
To those I've hurt by my actions, I apologise, but the pain was too much to bear so I have to rest now!
When her body was found alongside the note, people came up with different stories of what could have made her kill herself, there after good stories about her started to circulate, people said she was humble, kind hearted, loving, she would never hurt anyone physically or verbally.

Lesson: that girl would have easily exchanged words with the customer and pour out her heart in the heat of the moment but "humility" said no!

That customer might not be aware that he has taken a life, if he had been more gentle with his words, if he was humble perhaps that girl would still be alive.

So guys it takes nothing, rather it pays to be humble, we all need to posses the quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance. Speak love, be humble, address both young and old with respect it'll take nothing from you, rather your days will be long.

My next post will be on depression, you don't want to miss that
