The virtue of humility / La virtud de la humildad (eng-esp)

Greetings, friends of Ladies of Hive. Humility is one of the most beautiful virtues a person can possess. This is something that is increasingly rare in the art world. However, it does exist, and it is necessary to reclaim that respect for humility and abandon empty and unnecessary boasting. As the saying goes: Everyone boasts about what they lack.

I see it constantly. Those who boast about their supposed achievements, their connections, their exceptional talent, are, deep down, desperately seeking external validation.

These kinds of people need others to tell them they are good, that they are important, because they don't believe it themselves. Their self-confidence depends on the applause of others.

On the other hand, the one who learns that validation must be something internal and personal has already won. They gain peace. They no longer need to prove anything to anyone.

Their work, their knowledge, and their value are based on a firm foundation, one that doesn't waver with criticism nor inflate with flattery. That is freedom.

Oh, of course, I'd like to make something clear: humility is not weakness. It's quite the opposite. Humility is awareness. It's the strength that comes from knowing your true limits, from coldly evaluating what you know and what you don't.

The arrogant person lives in a fantasy that makes them vulnerable; any blow of reality can bring them down. A humble person is grounded in reality, and that's why they are grounded. They know they don't know everything, and that awareness makes them flexible, capable of adapting and learning.

I have observed an irrefutable truth: the more you learn, the more you realize how much there is left to learn and how little you know.

Each new level of knowledge opens the door to a vaster universe of ignorance. The true expert is the one who feels that respectful awe before the depth of their field.

The boaster, on the other hand, acts as if he has already reached the end of the road. His boasting is the very evidence that he has stagnated. He boasts of what he lacks: true depth, that insatiable curiosity, and the quiet confidence that doesn't need to be shouted from the rooftops. The confident silence of one who knows is far more eloquent than the noise of one who only needs to be believed.



Saludos, amigas de Ladies of Hive. La humildad es una de las virtudes más hermosas de las personas. Esto es algo que se ve cada vez menos en el mundo del arte. Sin embargo, la hay y es necesario recuperar ese respeto hacia la humildad y dejar el alarde vacío e innecesario. Ya lo dice el dicho: Cada quien presume de lo que carece.

Lo veo constantemente. El que alardea de sus supuestos logros, de sus conexiones, de su talento excepcional, en el fondo está en una búsqueda desesperada de validación externa.
Ese tipo de personas necesita que los demás le digan que es bueno, que es importante, porque él mismo no lo cree. Su seguridad depende de los aplausos ajenos.
En cambio, el que aprende que la validación debe ser algo interno y personal, ya ganó. Gana paz. Ya no necesita demostrarle nada a nadie.
Su trabajo, su conocimiento y su valor están asentados en una base firme, que no se tambalea con la crítica ni se infla con el halago. Eso es libertad.

Ah, claro, quisiera dejar algo claro: la humildad no es debilidad. Es todo lo contrario. La humildad es conciencia. Es la fuerza que surge de conocer tus límites reales, de evaluar con frialdad lo que sabes y lo que no.
El arrogante vive en una fantasía que lo hace vulnerable; cualquier golpe de realidad puede derrumbarlo.
La persona humilde está anclada en la realidad, y por eso es sólida. Sabe que no lo sabe todo, y esa conciencia la hace flexible, capaz de adaptarse y de aprender.

He comprobado una verdad irrefutable: cuando más aprendes, más te das cuenta de lo mucho que queda por aprender y de lo poco que sabes.
Cada nuevo nivel de conocimiento te abre la puerta a un universo más vasto de ignorancia. El verdadero experto es el que siente ese vértigo respetuoso ante la profundidad de su campo.

El que alardea, en cambio, actúa como si ya hubiera llegado al final del camino. Su alarde es la evidencia misma de que se ha estancado.
Presume de lo que carece: de verdadera profundidad, de esa curiosidad insaciable y de la tranquila seguridad que no necesita ser anunciada a gritos. El silencio confiado de quien sabe es mucho más elocuente que el ruido de quien solo necesita que le crean.
