“Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.” Proverbs 12:1 NIV
The Bible doesn’t use the word stupid that often, so that’s probably why it stood out to me this AM. And the recipient to the “stupid award” goes to… drumroll please…. Whoever hates correction.
In couples therapy do you know what makes for an intoxicating environment? Two people who think they’re right and do not back down. This is prime for stupidity. Why? Not because they aren’t right (they probably are) but because they aren’t going anywhere, there’s no progress, no companionship, no teamwork, no empathy… no love.
The worst is they’re too right to be corrected. This is dangerous territory and one that makes them/us a solid awardee of the Bible’s “stupid award”.
