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.
