I'll give you that one, it definitely came out wrong. Would you agree there are certainly different types of humility?
For instance:
John was forced to dance in the streets in his underwear while all the villagers laughed at him. He was humiliated.
Is this a value?
John was an admirable leader endowed with courage, strength and great humility.
Is this a value?
One is forced up an individual while the other is persued on ones free will.
My point was that once you place a threat on an individual, and it is that threat they are acting on, and not the value and its personal worth to the individual, it has been stripped away of any admiral meaning and has become a cruel biproduct of a bully's agenda.
Tha wast part of the main focus of my original post.
You told me, yup...it's more valuable when someone is acting on their own accord, but if they're scared in to doing it, that works for you too.
