Humilty is a virtue, not a neurosis. It sets of free to act virtuously, to serve God and to know him. Therefore true humility can never inhibit any really virtuous action, nor can it prevent us from fulfilling ourselves by doing the will of God. Humility sets us free to do what is really good, by showing us our illusions and withdrawing our will from what was only an apparent good. A humilty that feezes our being and frustrates all healthy activity is not humilty at all, but a disguised form of pride. It dries up the roots of the spiritual life and makes it impossibe to give ourselves to God.
