Aragorn allowing Boromir to publicly humiliate him fits his ranger lifestyle because it shows his humility and patience. In The Fellowship of the Ring, during the Council of Elrond, Boromir questions Aragorn's abilities and heritage. Aragorn does not react angrily or defensively. Instead, he stays quiet and lets Boromir speak his mind. This moment highlights Aragorn's humility and his ability to endure criticism without letting it affect his commitment to his mission and ranger principles.
