Just Stubborn

Sigh, I guess all of you have those days when, you just can't accept things and always think in your own terms. Sometimes, I just think i should kick myself when i just feel stubborn. However, no matter how people are able to explain certain things, I won't believe it till I actually see it, well you could call it just plain stubborness or I aint a naive person.

I realised some time ago, that being stubborn never brought me anywhere. Just looking at your own perspective may be enough but, missing the whole picture is laffable. Some people just need to learn how to listen. I guess it's one of the simple reasons that God made our ears in such a way that we can't close them, well in the sense where your not using your hands haha.

Learning the hard way, I've noticed that listening isn't bad at all. Considering you learn alot of new stuff and it tends to stimulate your curiousity. Well i suppose that arrogance ties in hand in hand with stubborness, you see how those two words sound so perfect with each other? Arrogance / ego / pride, aren't good traits all across the boards.

Fine, you may get everything your way now. But lets say 5 years down the road, you suffer due to the things you do now. Cause and effect, you can't run away from it. In proverbs, Solomon stresses to his sons to get Wisdom. Always saying that fools will perish. And he's right. Being wise is not all about knowledge, its about discipline and who you are inside.

I can't say that all wise men aren't stubborn. People are stubborn, in one way or another. I guess its something we have to put aside. Which means laying down pride and ego, and it might be a hard thing to do, but I must say that it does make life a whole lot better when your at peace with everyone around you, and with yourself.
