When we become aware of our humility, we've lost it.

Summary

This quote suggests that humility is not a trait that can be intentionally cultivated or achieved consciously. Instead, it implies that true humility is a state of mind that we might only possess when we are unaware of it. The moment we become self-aware of our own humility, we risk losing it because we are indulging in a paradoxical form of pride or ego. It suggests that humility is not something we can boast about or actively strive for, but rather a natural and unassuming quality that arises when our focus shifts away from ourselves and towards others.
