Being Honest and Humble

What a beautiful word, Humility. In my opinion, I call it modesty when a person who knows his power and talent equates himself with the person in front of him, without highlighting these qualities he has. I would like to address this issue in terms of past experiences and current sociological reality. However, it would be more accurate to describe this phenomenon from two perspectives.

The first of these is a group that defends the reality of modesty as a real virtue at all times.
The second is the approach to this word in the perspective of the 21st century we live in.

Now, the view of those who argue that modesty is a real virtue, and I would like to state that I am closer to this view. Let's try to explain it.

People can be great politicians, big business people, big industrialists, big capital owners, but they can never be great people by having these titles. Sitting in the corner with pride and arrogance with the attitude of "I created small mountains", facial expression, tone of voice, gaze, dressing style and contempt for the person in front of him does not make him a great person.

Great Human; it happens with humility, it happens with humility, it happens without arrogance and pride. It happens by adopting and assimilating moral rules. Modesty is a social phenomenon that is needed from the poor to the very rich, from the official to the superior, from the ignorant to the scholar, and from the public more than the administrator. Have we ever thought about how modest and humble we are? Does our arrogance or pride stifle our humility? What does it cost us to be humble? We all know the meaning of humility, but when it comes to practice, we can't.

Is it very difficult to smile and say good morning to anyone we see on the road in the morning? Is it very difficult to help an old person and to please him? Does being very rich prevent us from helping someone, from winning their hearts? Does being financially rich require us to brag in front of the other person? Should we help someone for our own benefit? Who will remain in this world? Is there anyone around you who stays like that?

Do we think that when we please others, we will be as satisfied as they are? Maybe there are many humble people among us. There are humble people who do not see themselves as high. I never speak to them. If we bring a smile to a person's face by acting modestly and modestly, and if we are the reason for this, can there be greater happiness than that? Hz. One of the important legacies of Mevlana from centuries ago to the present day is his seven advices.

Although about eight centuries have passed after his death, Hz. Mevlana has not been forgotten, his philosophy has not been lost.

These seven golden advices, which are the recipe for many personal and social problems, are as follows:

Be Like a Stream in Generosity and Helping,

Be like the sun as in tenderness and mercy,

Be like the night in covering the faults of others,

Be as Dead in Fury and Nervousness,

Be Like the Earth in Humility and Humility,

Be Like the Sea in Tolerance,

Either appear as you are or be as you look...

So far, I have tried to explain to you the modesty that a virtuous person should be in our spiritual world by adding depth and meaning to my writing by using Mevlana's beautiful concise words. Now, let's look at the phenomenon of modesty in a world where everything is measured by matter.

Let's Not Be Humble Sometimes:

We forget what we learned a century ago and take new steps with changing theories and ideas for a new century. Science and technology are advancing rapidly; There comes a time when a previously well-known fact is suddenly refuted today. This is what we call the new world order. The theory of evolution, the beginning of human history, etiquette are just a few that come to mind at first. Undoubtedly, ethical values ​​and human behavior and attitudes are also changing! For centuries, being humble was considered a virtue and appreciated, but today it loses its value! Maybe you will find it contrary to the spirit of this article, but now is not the time to be humble! It's time for a sip of water and a bite of bread. Now people are dealing with tangible and visible things. As we all know, humility has become a moral term meaning to be humble towards people, to avoid being arrogant and boastful. Like you, I have no objection to this tariff. However, in the changing world order, we are faced with the negative consequences of being modest that you cannot even imagine. For example; Being humble causes a decrease in our self-respect and confidence. In addition, the way people view you is directly related to our modesty. For this reason, one should be careful not to be as modest as before. This is the case, albeit with regret. God, what days are we left, even I have a hard time writing it. However, we should never confuse not being humble with being arrogant!

With this; We are going through such a time that when you are humble, no one knows your worth and value, of course exceptions do not change this fact much. Today, being humble is seen as equated with being shy and shy, it is defined as such. Unfortunately that is the case.

"No one is born humble, it's a learned behavior."

To be truly humble, you need to be confident. Those who are sure of their knowledge, beauty, personality and what they do are more open to criticism. For those who do not know you well, your dressing, upright posture and sitting are also very important.

Too much modesty is not good today, as is too much compassion. You can only distinguish people who know your humbleness as pitiful and your kindness as foolishness, and you feel sorry for them only when you are in a difficult situation.

Another change is;

The concept of "goodness", which is one of the values ​​that people have started to lose without realizing it. Do good and keep it secret time is over! Today, do good and make it known to everyone as much as possible. Announce it so that it sets an example, so that it can infect everyone. The value of benevolence and benevolence is a value that is desired to be brought to people. With the increase in the number of negative news published in the media in recent years, our good values ​​are being forgotten. Our beautiful values ​​and customs, our people should be reminded of the good values ​​they have, and it should be ensured that especially young generations are brought up with good and correct values.

Goodness is good if it is done for nothing. Do good and proudly share it. Share it so that your children and those around you make it a habit to do good. Do not keep the goodness hidden!

Let's not forget that goodness and beauty will save the world.

Conclusion:

What I am trying to tell you here are the sociological facts of life. I tried to explain the issue from two perspectives. Here, I think that your duty is to apply to our minds, which is the most important gift that God has given us. When we establish the correlation between the material person and the spiritual person, we will see that we are on the way to being perfect, even if we are not perfect. The most important discovery of man is to gain the ability to manage his own emotions and be happy. Of course, it is necessary to be as modest as necessary on time. However, we shouldn't overdo it and make others laugh at ourselves, right?
