I do believe I have been quite properly humbled. I do believe that was an important lesson for me to learn.
I would like to believe that I have never been abrasively outspoken on the subject, however, if I have ever pridefully done so, I will not do so again.
There's nothing worse than a hypocrite, unless its a hypocrite who's been discovered. So, in order to avoid the accusation, I must either change my words or my actions. And since words are said to be the overflow of the heart, it seems I must either change my beliefs or my actions.
For a while I was so thoroughly tempted to change my beliefs and continue in my actions, since that seemed to be the easier course. For a while I was blinded by the surprise discovery of just how pleasant this foot in my mouth could taste.
I cannot claim an impenetrable resolve at this point, but at the very least I have regained the will to realign my life.
I will remove this foot long enough to apologize for any judgement I had so naively cast. I guess I'm not exactly who I thought I was.
What a humbling thought.
