Humility in Apology; Surrender of Pride with Sincerity for Men:
Prideful fall, then the destruction.. some take it hard all the way down; others learn and change for the better
Humility in Apology; Surrender of Pride with Sincerity for Men: Prideful fall, then the destruction.. some take it hard all the way down; others learn and change for the better
Arrogance, stupid arrogance will always lead to a hard fall. Prideful egos will lend not a soft landing. Some people it takes that hard landing to wake up, some do not. Others will wake up and seek out a time of self-reflection then make changes of the mind, heart, and soul.
When this awakening does indeed happen it’s an emotional one even for men. Men are not immune to the same emotions as women, they have been taught to hide it all out of a false dichotomy of what being masculine and a man is all about since they were boys. Foolish pride is a true lesson learner. Some will say, “I’ll be damn if I crawl” when they got nothing to loose at all. They’ll stay up all night crying into a pillow thinking that if they just drink it all away everything will just be fine. That’s farther from the truth. Some turn to hard drugs think that’s the way out. A small minority turns to violence that ends up ruining not only them but others in their path.
When you as a man have that spark of humility thrusted upon you by your consciousness (the spirit [Faith sense]) there’s no denying that you’ve fallen and you need help. While some my burn bridges, others chalk it up to foolish pride and then they seek to make changes in their lives. When this happens things will be emotional because the sincerity to one’s self is evident. There’s no turning back at this point. You’re in it and committed.
Once the commitment to change is indeed there and the moment/s of self-reflection in either underway or has ran its course and the Guilty Verdict is read then the real admission of guilt is underway. This is the point where humility steps in and dishes out it’s infamous humble pie.
The punishment/s might not be physical but the mental and soulful punishment/s are a sentence of moral and ethical condemnation. A person can either take all the condemnation and be consumed by it to the point of allow it to rule over them in a depressive state or they can apply behavior modifications to themselves and truly change as a person. It might not be immediate but sooner rather than later the stage where true self-admission via an apology occurs. First to one’s self in lying to one’s self about one’s self must cleanse all the self-deception away like a fire. The burning sensation is intense at this point. The blaze of the heat is not over yet. Apologizing to others that have been hurt by your actions and behaviors is the next stage of the fire. This is a much harder part. Actually doing it will take you being more than a mere man, this point in time will decide whether you are a Real Man of convictions, morality, and ethics.
Your redemption draweth closer. When you experience what real love is all about in being forgiven by those you’ve hurt along the way and they show you that kind of love then the waters of redemption pours over you and extinguishes that fire that you’ve gone through in order to give way to a re-birthing of the person that’s supposed to be you. Humility, you can hate it or love it. You can use it to make yourself better or you can reject it and destroy yourself in the process. In the end a person’s ashes will be lying on the floor; the question which person’s ashes… Your old self or your complete self and that person dies forever.
Humility, take it or leave it… You are the only one that can make that choice. My advice? Apologize to her because it’s a hard, hard lesson learned either way.
Do it, apologize to her…

Publication Note: Publication of this article was meant without any Biblical references and theology nor doctrine of any sorts. The spirit of of the words spoken by The Holy Spirit are the Biblical references. This article was meant to get at the heart of a person instead of poking fingers and Bible Thumping. Half of it is from personal experience and what I’ve learned. Getting to the heart of men was the key point. If you are a Woman, you can too replace the pronouns and read it to yourselves as well in reverse of gender roles in a relationship. Basically it’s a genderless message that transcends. (KLC-PLM)
