Humiliation and humility ARE very different from degradation and name calling. You are right. I hadn't realized that until my current Master refused to call me some of the names I had been called in the past during sexual escapades. Yes, these names DID make me hot but was I humiliated? Did humility have anything to do with it? No. Master taught me the difference. He taught me TRUE humility and humiliation. And, he did it in a very uplifting way. I know, sounds like an oxymoron, uplifting humiliation. But, it's like you said, there is a difference between saying something to cut someone down and saying something that gives someone the self realization of humility.
