Braying Of My Ego

"For God hates utterly
The bray of bragging tongues"

-Sophocles, from Antigone


I was looking for a quote today that expressed a lesson that I thought a certain person around me needed to hear. He said many hurtful things and held on to his anger instead of having compassion towards me. He was indeed out of line and inappropriate. While searching for a fitting quote, I found this and was immediately humbled.

I was being proud, trying to punish him for his lesson. I thought I was better than him when really, I was only hurt by the things he said. My bragging tongue was the one who deserves the lesson. I apologize to my readers and to the certain person. I truly made an ass of myself.

Thank you God, for being forgiving of my ego. This truly was the quote I get to follow today. I am extremely grateful for this reminder!
