The answer to this question is very straightforward. Not only can self assertiveness and humility coexist, they must do so for either one to be consistently sustained. Without self assertiveness, humility becomes abject sycophancy calculatingly manipulating others while wallowing in the self-centered pride of the unprincipled pleaser. Without humility, self assertiveness becomes unprincipled egotism populating a shadow-land of cloned idols erected in honor of self. Only when self assertiveness and humility coexist is there the possibility for the triumph of righteousness and social realism.
