Humble, Truth, and Pride

One morning as I drove out of our community fresh from a vacation, I noticed a boutique shop was built, and it came to my knowledge that it takes months from the exterior to the interior decoration for the concept of the said boutique shop as what the owner dreams of. Then one day the owner change his mind and decided to stop the plan due to some problems arising within his family. So, in just days they changed the concept and design of the boutique shop.

What had planned and conceptualized for months was taken down for just short days. What is true of some businesses today is even more true to our dignity. We all try to build it up for years, but in just a single harsh mistake we accidentally or intentionally make, will easily be torn down apart in seconds.

People who undergo to this fate deserves not just a second chance, but “chances”! For as long as we are here, we are still vulnerable to make mistakes, and the only thing we should do is to acknowledge that mistakes, because as long as we will not accept it, we can never seek for forgiveness. We must realize that pride seeks to destroy our dignity, but humble and truth opens up us to a new and forgiving world.
