IN LIFE, EVEN IN THE WORKPLACE, HUMILIATION BUILDS WISDOM
THE HUMAN RACE
HUMILIATION CAN BE CONQUERED
I can’t think of anyone who
managed to successfully escape
from the self-deprecating
sting of humiliation.
Whether we’re innocent, ignorant
or corrupt, the feeling of disgrace
can’t be ignored by turning
two deaf ears to it. Having
suffered such pangs myself, I
know how it feels to have a
discombobulated psyche. But
when traces of dignity begin
to return, you can be rescued
from your pit of shame.
Whether the culprit who turned
your ego to mush was you alone or
some self-righteous schmuck,
you can patch up your
temperamental woes by either
laughing at your imbecility
or openly confessing your
blunders with blatant boldness.
Such integral acts will
speed up the healing process
until once again you’ll
return to being abnormal
like all the rest of us.

Wow! Now, being a female, these words are the type that I would categorize as a “put your big girl panties on” and get over it blog entry. Eloquent, piercing, yet sympathetic and motivating all together. I love this. Thank you for posting!
Hey Nodimlight… Thanks for the kind words. Life has been fun over the past 150 years. People like you, especially good-looking, sensitive, young raven-headers paying attention to my thoughts, makes my long journey a trip worth taking. Boots
Oh! Dear Sir, thank you for lifting me up, and the extra smile today. When functioning properly, inspiration flows in both directions, and then…. many directions.
