The Suppressed: Expressed

A compilation of thoughts that cannot find its place among the shallow world

Why do we require humility from a person?
The inequalities between ones appearance, social status, race and other qualities
with another person develops a sense of inferiority which we hide behind this mask
called ego. This therefore makes the exhibition of humility the indirect act of
protecting the ego of another or layering the mask for it to become thicker. It is then
essential for us to be indirectly affected by ones humility as it covers a hidden
inferiority within us.
Humility therefore is
