Being humble involves *not* being humiliated. "I have been deceived and screwed up as a result" is utterly ordinary. Recognising that deception, accepting it, and moving on is honourable and decent. Anyone who criticises you should take the plank out of their own eye first; we're all "asleep" or "off course" in some aspect of our lives. It is the pride that refuses to acknowledge the wrong that deserves the humiliation of the crashing ego.
“We hold these truths to be self evident...” I believe that👆🏼
I don't think im always right but
I always think I'm right
because by the time I realize that I was wrong I've changed my mind and think I'm right again. I get closer and closer to actually being right every time that happens so it's worth celebrating.
by the way Martin, its great to see you again. I followed you over from Telegram. I love the familiar feel over here.
