just when i thought i have fully comprehended about the subject on respect to the extent that i could start lecturing someone, i was brought back to reality through casual talk with someone much wiser than i am.
not being detail oriented is akin to not showing respect to someone of higher authority. i've not walked him through the flow of the proceedings that resulted in the uncovering of a big flaw that i wasn't even aware of.
i was staring into a mirror with all the shortcomings written all over my face. i'll never know how much is lacking in me if he did not point it out in a way that doesn't sound reprimanding but yet gave me sufficient food for thought.
thoughout my growing up years, i have never attempted to be sensitive enough and would speed through things without second thoughts on the impact on others.
how often do we slow down to do self reflection? how many of us bother to highlight the negative traits in others? it takes someone who cares enough to bring it up, sometimes at the expense of destroying friendship. maybe, this is what we call multi-faceted love.
