"Having no arrogance, is itself an arrogance"
I tried to remain humble,
downplay successes & capabilities,
when received compliments & praises,
I felt uncomfortable, not deserving.
For, I have been a realist,
comparing it with contemporaries,
knowing the extent of investments,
of time & efforts, I am lacking.
Still, there's a voice in my head,
being proud of my selfless acts,
giving me a sense of superiority,
to have renounced accomplishments.
Yet, deep down, conscience speaks,
exposing ego, wearing mask of virtue,
seeking social approvals & validations,
developing this habit of performance.
For, humility is not a skill to learn,
but an absence of self-interest,
a quiet state of mind, being content,
in accepting world in every form.
