Do you really understand the meaning of modesty?
- 1 : freedom from conceit or vanity
- 2 : propriety in dress, speech, or conduct
Or how about the meaning of modest?
- 1 a: placing a moderate estimate on one's abilities or worth
- b: neither bold nor self-assertive : tending toward diffidence
- 2: arising from or characteristic of a modest nature
- 3: observing the proprieties of dress and behavior: decent
btw...the word modest comes from the Latin word
modestus which means: moderate...avoiding extremes of behavior or expression.
Nothing has changed for me. I still dress modest according to my culture around me. Even on the golf course!
