Humility is a virtue when it is justified. Which is the majority of the time.

I'm not a fan of false modesty at all. But genuine humility is beautiful.

By humility I mean the opposite of arrogance by the way. I'm not a fan of the Christian sort of humility that tends to be more about unnecessarily huge amounts of shame over nothing actually shameful than anything I would think of as humility.
