Humility

This morning just before SS ended we touched on humility. This got my mind rolling a little and I have some questions. What is humility? I wonder if we think humility is a feeling of worthlessness. We don't know how to react to praise. So, instead of accepting compliments we tend to talk about what our problems are. Doesn't true humility accept praise graciously? I guess true humility doesn't allow praise to become the god of life.
