Of all the sources I've studied for this sefirotic pairing, I find the simplest, that of R. Simon Jacobson, to be the most fulfilling.
Of this day of nobility in humility he wrote "Walking humbly is walking tall." When one is secure in one's dignity, humility is natural. The analogous situation oddly enough is the heterosexual man who is so secure in his sexuality that he is completely comfortable with queer men — and isn't the least bit nervous about expressing his feelings for them. When you're secure in who you are, you are comfortable with others and who they are. And you have the humility to appreciate not only your own dignity but that of others.
