He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Proverbs 29:1
(Your comment “ am self taught. Never got along with teachers.
So I have blind spots in my self-education.”)
Since you like proverbs how about this one...
Proverbs 9-8-10”8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
Would you be a scorner or can you accept that even an “unfair judgment” may not be a judgment at all but a challenge to your motives? Verse 10 will help you with your “educational blind spots”!
Thank you. And...
Proverbs (not exact)
Words from a wise man are as refreshing as soothing water.
A soft tongue breaks bones.
I was accused and maligned, not merely corrected.
Sun Tsu: know your enemy and know yourself.
Am I the enemy? I put a lot of work in Twit-land fighting the Swamp. Made a private little hashtag there for research rather than trending:
#TheLeftIsNuts
I also congratulated people for their brilliance:

(adopted squirrel persona to help humiliate any Leftist who lost a debate with me. No Leftist ever beat me in a debate)
