The essence of humility, a rare quality that transcends vanity and reminds us that, in our humanity, we are all equal. This sonnet celebrates this very important virtue, exalting the certainty that no one is superior to anyone else, regardless of their achievements or possessions. True wisdom is found in the humble heart, which recognizes the equality and dignity of each being. Sonnet: Humility is a light that appears In the chest of those who know their worth, They do not consider themselves greater or victorious, For it is in equality that the soul is sustained. Rare is the certainty that is displayed That greatness is born without favor, In simplicity, the greatest vigor, And vain vanity soon disappears. He who knows that no one is superior Gives others respect and more love, For he knows that power is not victory. He is wise who, without exalting himself, Understands that the most beautiful thing is to be equal, And thus in humility finds glory.
