Da Word... 157!

Hi All!

Sorry I missed last week!!!!  Brutha is back in the habbit this week ;-D  And man, it is a nice day outside.  For some reason, after the rain, the day becomes amazing.   Okay, on to... da Word! 

checkit:

Whoever loves discipline, loves knowledge; but he who hates correction is stupid.
- Proverbs 12:1

Heh heh, blunt!  I like it when da word is just straight BLUNT from time to time.  TRU!  I mean fa real, it is what it is potnas.  If ya luv catchin' discipline, then ya luv knowledge.  But potnas, if we hate correction, then we are just plain dumb, fatuous even.   Let's go into that a bit... about kats who hate correction.

Kats who hate correction never seem to learn.  Matter of fact, they actually get stuck in the most worst of ruts.  MATTER of FACT... they tend to struggle a LOT for a ton of reasons, many of which could EASILY have been avoided had this person taken to correction.  But NOOOOOO.... this kat is usually way to prideful to accept correction.  This kat is instead more likely to get in yo' face.... with a QUICKNESS. In my experience, this kat tends to get angry... FAST.  They hate correction so much that their mechanism for thwarting it is to develop a character will go ape at the mere scent of correction abrew.  This kat is UNSTABLE!  Unpredictable.  It gets to a point where there is NO tellin' what kind of reaction you will get if you try to pass on a word of knowledge or discipline to this brutha or sista.  Sound like anybody you might know potnas?  I know a couple.  Mmmhmmm.  They begin to "rule by force".  If you question them, woooo, better watch out!!!  Sometimes these kats amass a large organization, many like-minded, and very scary to be a part.  OH, and they might get whatever they want too!  Riches, cars, cribs, da whole nine.  But this kat will miss out on Life.  When times get tough, they will be alone.  When they need aid, they will be alone.  When they near the end of their lives, they will be alone.  See, this kat will probably never know what it is to have a true friend as they will have pushed them all away... and so, they'll likely die... alone.

Dang, all that just by hatin' correction!?  Heh, it's called errosion, and it eventually ripples throught a person's entire being.

On the other hand, kat's who like discipline... they tend to soar.  And actually, they might hate the moments when they receive discipline (sometimes it's not so fun, i mean, how many of you actually like to hear that you are dead wrong and your idea is wack son!? ??).  But the difference is.. this kat will take the discipline, learn from it, and change.  The more he or she does so, the better and faster he or she gets at it.  And you know what?  They soar.  Peeps tend to stick around and like to help them.  Peeps tend to give them more opportunities.  These kats tend to have great friends too, and KEY friends.  Hey, these kats end up becoming mentors and role models.  People start wantin' to be like them.  AND, these kats are not alone when the times get rough.  They, instead, have this amazing safety net underneath that catapults them to new heights.

I think.... I like the repercussions of bein' a kat who likes discipline ;-D   What about you?

G-bless,

ps - there are always exceptions too ;-D

for instance, a kat who loves discipline may use what he has learned for ill gain... ie he/she learns how better to manipulate peeps to his or her own designs.   Let's not be that kat!!!!

for instance 2.... a kat who hates correction may not let that corrode his/her character and push peeps away.  This could result in making true friends, but some who will progressively pass on correction less and less.  So this kat will continue to learn things the hard way (hopefully), but at least he/she will have true friends willing to lend a hand.
