Is it that bad?

How do you feel after you are humble? After you submit to someone else beside yourself?
Does it feel bad? Say you are walking into a room and as soon as you enter somebody is yelling at you asking why you didn't take out the trash on Monday. You could answer, "well you shouldn't be so bossy about it" or you could answer " I'm sorry I will go do it now."
Which answer would you feel better about?
If you answer well you shouldn't be so bossy about it you might feel better because you "got back at them" but inside you know you were wrong to answer like that. At least that is usually how I feel. When I answer I'M SORRY I will go do it now, I feel better inside because I did what was right.
It really doesn't seem so bad even to us when we are humble but we aren't humble because of our pride. notice how humans are to dogs. We are always petting them and telling them good boy/girl. Why don't we do that to people? Always being encouraging. The thing is people brag and that makes us mad. We don't want to praise them because that might lead to them bragging, and OH my we don't want somebody else exalted.
When we are humble it helps others to be humble as well.
