humility is beyond our reach. if it were a product of reaching, we would instinctively be proud of reaching it. it is a gift.

Summary

This quote suggests that humility cannot be achieved through conscious effort or ambition. If it were attainable through personal striving, there would be a risk of feeling prideful about reaching a state of humility. Instead, humility is seen as something that is bestowed upon an individual, a gift that cannot be earned. It implies that true humility arises naturally and exists even in the absence of personal recognition or achievement.
