There are ways to post with pride and ways to post with humility. Being humble in daily life does not mean that you have to skip posting about your feelings. You can say that the piece is inspiring and leave it at that. But I will say this, people are generally interested in how something affects themselves. This is just human nature. And "I want to be a better person" is a not uncommon thing to say. So one has to get beyond that and understand why humans might reply in the ways that they do. Pride and humility are probably not black and white for most of us. I can say that personally I am humble about some things because I know there are many out there greater than me at what I do or think. And I have my soupçon of pride too just like many others.
In general (there are always exceptions) I personally don't think humility is apathetic or lacking in social productivity. It is the humble person who can set aside narcissism and keep learning even when they are master of their trade. This can promote social productivity and ultimately increases personal wisdom and is good for the general welfare of a community.
tl;dr?
In short, humans may have both pride and humility as motivations for the way they react to things and rarely is it black or white. There is likely a place for humility in social welfare.
I used to have a sig. Really.
