HUMILITY:

No matter how important you portray yourself to be for the people around you or outside your environment, there is always someone/group who will try at times successively/in-futility to deflate that egocentric nature (“…who say here, there is no one else but us” Sirach36:9) whether you publicly accept it or not [‘you will come to know the truth and the truth will set you free’ Jn.8:32]; the lesson therein is that when deflated/insulted/humiliated one should see it as a message on the nothingness of man (dust you are and dust you shall return)being humble in spirit {“He must grow greater, I must grow less” Jn.3:30} as well as a call for a closer desire to improve on ones dependency on God who alone exalts (‘commend what you do to God and what plan will be achieved’ Prov.16:3) hence take the lesson and leave the offence {“remember this, my dear brothers everyone should be quick to listen but slow to human anger; God’s saving justice is never served by human anger” James 1:19-20}.
