Assalamu aleikum,
First you ask me to explain and then you also give me your explanation. Just give me the chance I will try to explain, in my own words.
The humbleness came from what you wrote ''And where I got my 'arrogance' is by a humble student od Sayyid Abu Ala Maududi (d. 1979) and reader of Imam Hassan Al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb, and Imam Khomeini.''
You explained you got your attitude from either ' a humble student' or meaning that you your self was 'a humble student'. And that could mean that humbleness has turned into something else. I am not quite following you what you mean, but anyway my point was that I focused on the word 'humble' that I think is a good quality for a Muslim, and that goes for everyone of course.
So your suggestion that I tell you to be still and not speak is not what I wrote. We seem to be speaking of two different things.
If one try to practice humbleness in combination with speaking up ones mind and telling the truth, I don't think that is any lesser way to do it. 'Forcing' things may not be the best way. Just a reflection from my part.
Wasalam
