The Blind Side

Proverbs 25:12
Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man's rebuke to a listening ear.

in general.when things don't go to your expectation..u start poking things for faults here n there
either anaylsing things at a angle only u can seek
usually overlook the other party's reason n overlooking the overall picture

[yeu@nn] says (12:03 AM):
wow
tks bro

Galvatron says (12:03 AM):
thanks too, knowing this maynot sounds nice
but not to tear u down lah
ha

[yeu@nn] says (12:04 AM):

but i need it

Galvatron says (12:04 AM):

[yeu@nn] says (12:04 AM):
tks so much for speaking truth in love
i know... i tink i sensed it... it's just tt i haven't fully thot thru


Galvatron says (12:04 AM):
 if u look into some of your blog articles, u can see it in some of it

  [yeu@nn] says (12:04 AM):
 maybe i was too lazy
 :\

Galvatron says (12:04 AM):
 the way the u penned ur tots

[yeu@nn] says (12:04 AM):
 the public one?
 or private?

Galvatron says (12:04 AM):
 both

  [yeu@nn] says (12:05 AM):
 ha

Galvatron says (12:05 AM):
 in relationship..this may cause conflicts n frustration to keep recurring
 no matter where u go
 who u interact with

  [yeu@nn] says (12:06 AM):
 *nods head*
 yah
 agree

[...]

Galvatron says (12:19 AM):
don't box Him up

[yeu@nn] says (12:19 AM):
AMEN
hai...
i very stupid
:P
i box myself blue black

Galvatron says (12:20 AM):
guess it's prob your inclination to see things in one direction
at times

[yeu@nn] says (12:20 AM):
very true
esp if emotions are involved
danger zone
the blind side

Galvatron says (12:21 AM):
yeah..

[yeu@nn] says (12:21 AM):
any advice on guarding against this?

Galvatron says (12:22 AM):
reflect more

[yeu@nn] says (12:22 AM):
the troublesome thing abt the blind side is tt u often dun see it until it's too late

Galvatron says (12:22 AM):
ask God to help u to see more

[yeu@nn] says (12:22 AM):
AMEN

Galvatron says (12:22 AM):
ask HS to prompt u more

[yeu@nn] says (12:22 AM):
AMEN!
yes!
tks for reminding me
=D

Galvatron says (12:22 AM):
to see angles that u can't see

[yeu@nn] says (12:22 AM):
hooray

Galvatron says (12:23 AM):
also be open to alternative views from others

[yeu@nn] says (12:23 AM):
yah... but i guess i am open to alt views from others... or at least i do think so
but there are times.

Galvatron says (12:24 AM):
i am talking more about when it seems hard to accept because it is so different from your view

[yeu@nn] says (12:24 AM):
ah
i see

Galvatron says (12:24 AM):
yeah
sometimes the reasoning for such hard to accept views are actually not wrong in itself
but prehaps we're just not open
and insist it our way
kind of like cultureshock kind of effect

[yeu@nn] says (12:26 AM):
oh...
hmm
u describe it accurately
but i was wondering, i do insist and am not open, 'cos i guess i see it as a matter of right versus wrong

but yah
nw thinking further

Galvatron says (12:27 AM):
how do u know u're 101% correct?
and the other party is 0% correct

[yeu@nn] says (12:28 AM):
tt's a very good pt bro

Galvatron says (12:29 AM):
how do u know u have covered every inch of perspective to conclude?

[yeu@nn] says (12:29 AM):
ah
true

Galvatron says (12:29 AM):
especially in areas where it is not obviously disputable
like against WOG

it is easier to appreciate our own view than others

our view is formulated wholly in our mind, experience , values, understanding , perspectives et
etc
to appreciate others it usually takes more effort esp with someone who is different from us
in character, personality, personal experience etc

Galvatron says (12:34 AM):
can see it this way..love is not rude
ha
not saying u're ruf
rude

just to illustrate we can be not rude to try as best as we can to appreciate the other party's view

love is patient
patient to seek understanding

[yeu@nn] says (12:37 AM):
AMEN
i still have so much ... a super long way to grow in love
tk God for His patience with me

tks bro... really really appreciate ur sharing

Galvatron says (12:38 AM):
no prob
just sharing my own learning journey too

[yeu@nn] says (12:38 AM):
how u r able to analyse and think it thru... and also use the Word of God accurately..

Galvatron says (12:38 AM):

[yeu@nn] says (12:38 AM):

haha

tks for digesting it for me LOL

Galvatron says (12:38 AM):
glad to bless

[yeu@nn] says (12:39 AM):
haha
yah...
hmm
right
reflect more...
and pray to God

Galvatron says (12:40 AM):
yeah...reflection is like a bread n butter

[yeu@nn] says (12:40 AM):
ask Him to help me be aware of this blind side

Galvatron says (12:40 AM):
looking at the mirror
this one have to be very intentional haha
intentionally staring into the mirror

[yeu@nn] says (12:41 AM):
the blind side?

Galvatron says (12:41 AM):
yeah..

[yeu@nn] says (12:41 AM):
yah...

i think God has been helping me sense it...
it's just tt i haven't sat down to think deeper abt it
and pen it down into words

Galvatron says (12:41 AM):
ic
let God renew your mind then haha

[yeu@nn] says (12:42 AM):
