Is humility a virtue?

[Mystic]

Self-loathing, for certain pious believers, is recommend by the traditions attributed to the household of Mohammad.  Imam Ali in Nahjul balagha describing the pious says their hate for themselves is great.

That is different than humility, but the self-blaming soul can reach a state where it hates what it has become, but has compassion enough for itself to change and move forward.

To be distressed at the evil we have reached, is good, because it's the distressed ones of the people of evil that God has promised to remove the evil from.

There is a very important and significant distinction between hating yourself, and hating the wrong thing you did. So much so, that Christianity generally discourages suicide and self harm, and regards such acts as deeply immoral.

Compassion of God encompasses even Satan, never let go of compassion.

Despising what we have become doesn't mean not having compassion for yourself or being good to yourself. 

For some souls the step is never necessary. For many it is,  because I left faith in God and his Messengers, and was an anti-Christ in the sense I hate the view that God chooses and anoints a King among us and Leader to unite on, and guidance in form of a group of guides....and have done nothing for the oppressed.

The path of redemption has to go through this route for sometime for some souls. 

Of course, you always been on track of believing in God and his Messengers, so... you probably don't need it.

What is funny is your response is as if you want me to hate myself. Ironic.

No, I want you to be worthy of loving yourself, and not value yourself based on whether you can drag others down to your level.

So you want me to hate myself to transition to a position where I truthfully appreciate myself. This is exactly how I understand the Prophet and his family, except, they aren't so rude in how they say it.
