Admitting to be wrong

[nema]

Just a piece of advice that i can give, since i've been guilty many times of it. And I don't mean to preach because i'm not a Priest, it just seems like a problem that many people have.
I noticed a pattern of internal "fights" on the forum and i'm almost sure that the root of them is always the same: instead of admitting to be wrong, at lot of times we lie to ourself, pretending that we don't understand how wrong we are. So we become entangled in a web of our own BS. The mind (or maybe the ego) hates being wrong; so it works to justify our f**k ups, instead of correcting them.
That's also the reason why most people after a certain age rather die than hear the Truth, they just can't accept that they've been fools for all of their life; they prefer to keep lying to themself.
Here, it usually become something like "i'm just too smart and nobody can understand me", or "i am the only free spirit and everybody else here is a sheep".
The worst part is when we try to justify thoughts that aren't even ours, like when we get attacked and we start hating the ToZ or the Gods for no reason; the mind wants to justify that, for some reason. So It will give you reasons to keep believing what the attack made you feel.
Every human is a Genius and an idiot at the same time. When we learn to admit It and smile about it, we save a lot of time and misused anger..
Hail Zeus!

Very well said.

A grandiose ego doesn't help anybody.

A humbled ego can shortly hurt, but will save you in the long-term.

The worst part imo is we forget the yehuborim monitor these forums and they see this petty infighting and snicker at it. It's awful when your enemies can see the truth and you can't.

Read a quote a while back: "I am both smarter and dumber than you believe me to be, don't ever estimate me".

We humans seem to struggle with overcoming linear thought. I really think people are changing for the better though, based on the stuff I see people openly talking about more and more online. I don't ever remember before, people questioning so many things, until now. I think we need to value truth more than anything else sometimes, and especially more than being right. There's a time and place for everything so depending on your goal there might be a time where being right will be more important if it somehow affects a longterm outcome in a positive way, maybe? These are things I have been thinking about lately. I love how they always come up on the ToZ when they're things I've been thinking about.. I can't be the only one experiencing this, even with some of the sermons that get posted or just posts by the High Priests. We must be synchronizing somehow.

Good reminder from you; it’s really important to remember that refusing to admit our mistakes only keeps us in stupidity. Some people will recognize themselves in this and correct their behaviour. This also fits very well with High Priest Zevios post about double ignorance.

I think you're guilty of this as well, Brother. You made a post on how other Brothers were going to curse you (no Zevist is retarded enough to do that) and when HPL said she wasn't even talking about you, you went on a rant on how you predict the future. If you just said "my bad" nobody would have even cared. I think that's the best way to handle these "mistakes"..

The enemy is like the system, my friend. They mostly exist only in the minds of those who care about them.

 

[Asra]

These reactions line up perfectly with Double Ignorance, now that there is a term for it. Acknowledging mistakes, apologizing (including publicly when needed), and making up for them instantly turn a person into someone worthy of respect, even if their mistakes were grave, compared to people who have an arrogant or hypocritical attitude, or who try to look more knowledgeable than they are, which can only spike disgust in others.

There must be checks and balances. This is why we have the moderators here.
I was in the Air Force for 6 years, and although not every officer that gave me an order knew what he was talking about, I bit my tongue and did what I was told. If he misused his authority, he was brought up before the commanding officer. There was a "redress of grievance" process.
There is something similar wherever you go, otherwise there would be chaos.
It is no different here. Respect and good behaviour goes a long way.
