"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble". (James 4:6) Humility is a virtue which God requires of all His people. It's basically the fear of the Lord. Recognizing that He's God and we're not. And thus molding our lives around the perfect example of humility, Jesus Christ.
Pure humility never demands it's own way. It always looks out for others before itself.

Humility is definitely not a character trait I see displayed here very often.

Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.
John 13:3-5
After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, "Do you understand what I was doing? You call me `Teacher' and `Lord,' and you are right, because it is true. And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than the master. Nor are messengers more important than the one who sends them. You know these things-now do them! That is the path of blessing.
John 13:12-17

True humility is having no regard for yourself...comparison does not happen. You are not higher or lower than anyone.

One who is unpretentious and modest. A humble person doesn't believe they are better than anyone else. They actually embrace their flaws and deny their Godliness. They hold their lives in less importance than they do God, essentially, However this does not mean that the unbeliever cant or are not humble.

when anyone get insulted so much that he/she is not even able to think him/herself as human then it is called humility. the treatment we do with animals, is what when we do with humans then they feel humiliating.
