To learn,you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction. ~Proverbs 12:1 NLT In one sense,this proverb describes two different types of people.Those who learn,and those who refuse to learn.The first,the learners,understand and accept the necessity of discipline as part of the learning process.The second,the refusers,ignore & reject correction.The learners decide to love discipline.The refusers decide to hate anything and everything that might offer a good lesson.The learners grow in wisdom..the refusers sink into stupidity. Both types of people may be dealing with the same experience for discipline & correction often take the form.For example,both the learners and those who refuse to learn can make the same mistake.When it is pointed out to the first,they appreciate the correction and adjust their actions.Meanwhile,the second resent the correction and often refuse to change their ways Love or hatred for discipline can be claimed anytime.but the proof comes when discipline occurs.How we respond demonstrates whether we have made the wise choice to learn or the wrong choice to remain foolish. Somebody ought to say,Thanks! I Needed that!
