Humility of human beings always puzzled me. I found that people who are weak are sometimes forced to show humility while a few acted humility to get their things done
And the real kind who are bestowed with the real virtue humility. I under stand that the weak who comfortably entered in to the fort of humility never came out as it protected them. And the fake ones fretting and seething as their downed ego resurfacing now and then. My understanding about humility is as follows.
Naturalness and quietness accompanies humility. It is the understanding that small things have to be taken seriously and inside little things lay vastness and enormity. There is a trust that every thing will come at the right time, as accomplishments come naturally. Nothing belittles them because they respect themselves. Humility requires nothing once you have it every thing comes to your way.

Depression
DEPRESSION
Depression is a word disliked by all and all are weary of the state of mind it brings in. I have heard many saying that dispel the feeling before it numbs your brain. I categorise the mind to be in three states. The ground state where you act normal, the excited state where an abundant flow of energy to gain that extra mile is observed and the third state is the low energy level where you lack enthusiasm with visible disinterest termed the depressive spell. Are these the convex and concave states of the mind, the high and low level energy states that are so undesirable? And this universe being the bigger mind is made up of all kinds of opposites, darkness and light, pessimism and optimism and hope and despair. Our mind is a tiny fraction and is there any wonder ecstasy is followed by depression.
Silence and stillness always accompany this low energy people categorized to be depressive. And I find their retreat into this thin shell has helped them realize truth and as a whole life‘s essence. Are not the great writers and artistes subjects of depression? I feel silence and stillness are powerful weapons to sharpen your mind. So next time you see a person with less enthusiasm, believe me, he is summoning all his energy resources, restoring his concentration to ride high. Is there anybody in the corridor telling me that the depressive state of mind brings energy leaks? Friend! Be still and silent for a moment, you will have better clarity in thinking and vision. Playing the role of a witness to life’s experience will be wonderful.

BOTHERATIONS
RESPECT
Giving respect to people whom I disliked always bothered me.Though artificially I expressed my respect ,inwardly I feared that my fake expression will be caught .At the same time the fear of loosing respect rising within me amused me also .I too wanted to be respected.And I began observing me and the people around me.The desire for respect is deeply sown in the human heart,which compels people to be reserved,composed and serious.Yearning for respect is a wish you may get it ,but the fear of humiliation is fatal which will create all kind of hurdles in our progress.How to get over it ?Like you ,I also thought about it ,read about it ,discussed and contemplated.Why do you respect some one?Because you find qualities which you admire in life with them like honesty ,love,openess,talents,intelligence.Time may bring changes in them .Accordingly they change and you loose respect .You are forced to show respect also ,especially when you work in a hierarachical system .Many will be successful actors ,but a very few fail miserably and suffer and I being one .I always understood that I can respect people whom I admire for their qualities or when they have an appealing goodness within them .You only respect greatness ,but at this same time I have observed weak people admiring and respecting wickedness ,muscle power.Respecting life itself makes you great.Yearning to get respect from others makes you weak.The best thing as other observers said is to have respect for yourself and no one can take away your self respect.
