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.
“We hold these truths to be self evident...” I believe that👆🏼
