 Editor’s note: Our ability to practice kindness with others is often related to our sense of humility. Humility derives from the Latin word "humus" or “from the earth.” In the spiritual sense, it means coming down to the earth, out of our thoughts and ego and recognizing the relationship of our small self to the vastness of the universe and to all other beings. Tim McGraw expressed the importance of these two virtues best in this powerful song, Humble and Kind. –Ameeta |
