Kahihiyan ang laging dulot ng kapalaluan, ngunit pagpapakumbaba’y nagbubunga ng karunungan.        

Kawikaan 11:2

How many times have we watched     news about somebody committing a crime just because he lost his cool? Natalo sa online game, inagawan ng girlfriend, tiningnan nang masama, o nagkagitgitan sa traffic. Kaya ayun, natuloy sa violence ang init ng ulo. Pero    huwag na tayong pumunta sa violent crimes.     Tingnan na     lang natin ang mga simpleng bagay ― gaya ng hindi natin ginawa ang dapat nating gawin     dahil tinamad tayo.     O     naubos ang oras natin sa kaka-scroll sa news feed natin. Hindi ba at the end of the day,     tayo mismo ang mahihiya sa sarili natin dahil hindi tayo naging wise sa ating decision-making? Hindi ba mapapaisip tayo na had we chosen to be wise about our choices, priorities, and     actions, we would have reason to be proud of ourselves?

Too many times, we forget to be wise regarding     how we conduct     our lives. We get so carried away by our emotions that we forget to discern what’s right and what’s wrong. But if we look to Jesus and ask the Father for a clearer mind, it would be easier for us to make the right decision. The Holy Spirit would surely guide us. Maiiwasan natin ang mga maling kilos. Maiiwasan nating magbitaw ng masasakit na salita, we would be calmer, malalayo tayo sa away. In short, hindi tayo malalagay sa kahihiyan. Why else do we need to live wisely? Because it will glorify God. What we need to do is to humble ourselves and acknowledge that we need God.
