Humility is the one virtue from which all other virtues flow. Humility allows society to remain connected by having no one stand out as being inherently better. If pride does occur, it creates conflict within society and detracts from a consciousness of God and a focus on God. The Catholic church was unable to appreshiate humility because of their long history of corruption, despite the Desert Fathers (so instead, they focused on faith, hope, and charity, the three theological virtues, which was an easier practice).
So, a prerequisite for harmonizing your will with God's will is learning humility. Doing so increases the interconnectedness of people within society and reduces fragmentation (evil).
Determining a person's character requires meek and humble approach. Pride with ill intent will be shown by the person in the form of happiness and surprise, usually with a smirk.
