Humility is mostly found in your heart space. It’s not something you do in your brain, although you can decide it. It's not that you pretend you’re not arrogant, if you find that's your thing, and it's not something you would do to feel even lesser about yourself than you already do (if that's your thing).

There's a list of commands to guide us. But I think it's largely misunderstood. It doesn't help that the interpretation of the bible that we hear is so incredibly closed-minded and that there are people who sound like robots insisting on it. What if "Jesus coming back in the sky" refers to incarnating from his home planet? Too radical? Likely it is for most. We're not used to any bible prophecy that's open minded. But honestly....what else would coming from the sky mean? Have we not all heard that and wondered how it's even possible?
It seems that we emerge into the light from darkness.
It is by cultivating the light in the dark that it emerges. You can experience light in your own body. Our challenges, those that bring discomfort can be seen as darkness. But striving for compassion or tolerance, a love for God, or whatever response that's better than the average, are ways to bring light from dark. These responses will accumulate and one day you'll notice you feel different inside. Light. Joy. In other words, with enough of these responses (forgiveness, kindness, etc.), and using them, one day you may just find your body embodying the light. And maybe this is "enlightenment". Whatever it is, it feels good.
Why so much suffering?
Because we're refined in the fire. And that's more valuable than gold.
