Pride and Humility

The word "humble" does not necessarily have a positive meaning in Hungarian. Maybe in some circles of English speakers it is also negative. However, biblically, it is one of the most positive words around. In both Hungarian and in English, the word "pride" has its positive and negative connotations. For the sake of this short discussion, let's use the negative meaning of pride. So, with these thoughts in mind, here's a thought I am passing along from a course I'm taking:

"You cannot offend a humble person; if you are offended, then you've lost your humility and pride has flown up in you and filled you up."

Your thoughts?
