Shamefull Behaviour
It has been quite a while since I last blogged here. This in itself may be considered as being shamefull behaviour. It is so in its own right and I have my own reasons for not doing so but this is not actually the topic at hand here.
What I actually intend to discuss here is something of an entirely different matter and may be considered as being somewhat soul-cleansing.
There are various characteristics that people have. Some of those characteristics are positive whilst others are negative. Some characteristics that I find negative on other people are intollerance, xenophobia, two-facedness, jealousy, superficial thinking and ignorance.
It is often good to practice what you preach. What a shock it was for me to realise that I am guilty of at least one negative character trait that I myself despise so much. That being ignorance. I must admit that I have been ignorant today and therefore hang my head in shame for my being so.
The worst thing is that I was ignorant in the company of some very good friends of mine and that is somewhat embarassing for me. If one or more of my friends who were a witness to my ignorance perchance were to read these lines I would like to offer my appologies and hope that it offers some consilation to you that I woke up from that ignorance and did not persist in this shamefull state.
"Better late then never" as they say... But also better sooner than too late. And I hope that I was not too late in my waking.
Looking forward to an ignorant-free tomorrow :o)
