humility

This term describes a psychological state of modesty that avoids arrogance or pride. It is often viewed as a virtue in social and spiritual contexts, where it implies a conscious decision to downplay one's own achievements to elevate others or acknowledge a higher power. In a socio-economic sense, the word refers to a lack of luxury or prestige. This usage describes a physical or social state of simplicity and lowliness, often associated with poverty or a modest station in life.
