Being humble involves *not* being humiliated. "I have been deceived and screwed up as a result" is utterly ordinary. Recognising that deception, accepting it, and moving on is honourable and decent. Anyone who criticises you should take the plank out of their own eye first; we're all "asleep" or "off course" in some aspect of our lives. It is the pride that refuses to acknowledge the wrong that deserves the humiliation of the crashing ego.

I don't think im always right but
I always think I'm right
because by the time I realize that I was wrong I've changed my mind and think I'm right again. I get closer and closer to actually being right every time that happens so it's worth celebrating.

Incredibly well stated wow, and thank you for the Biblical reference. Humility (being humble) is extremely rare yet extremely valuable, and is DIScouraged these days by the media etc. - I wonder why. To me, the smartest people are humble. The ones who think they are smart are not!
