What if being wise hurts someones feelings? | ||||||
2 | while protecting myself from injustice | Matt 10:16 | meusing | 56427 | ||
If we were truely wise we would NOT hurt others' feelings. 1. Properly, having knowledge; hence, having the power of discerning and judging correctly, or of discriminating between what is true and what is false; between what is fit and proper, and what is improper; as a wise prince; a wise magistrate. Solomon was deemed the wisest man. But a man may be speculatively and not practically wise. Hence, 2. Discrete and judicious in the use or applications of knowledge; choosing laudable ends, and the best means to accomplish them. This is to be practically wise. Gen 41. |

4 | Which should come first? | Matt 10:16 | Makarios | 56576 | ||
Greetings Vivien, Perhaps you should seek the counsel of your pastor. If this situation is of a much "lesser" nature, then perhaps you should just tell your auntie the truth about how you feel. If she is your auntie, i.e., your aunt, then she most likely has your best interest in mind as well. But never, under any circumstances, should you be directed to give in to sin at any point. Blessings to you, Makarios |

5 | Which should come first? | Matt 10:16 | Vivien | 56754 | ||
Thanks for your answer. Actually, this aunt of mine is sick and is asking for my help. But the favor she is asking for will cause her sister, another aunt of mine who's been doing injustice to me since I was a kid, to gain advantage over the lot I have inherited from my mom (their sister). Isn't it that one of the characteristic of a serpent is its ability to avoid danger? This is sure danger. She knows how I feel about it. And she is not open to other options I have presented. Instead, she asks me to trust her for she will not lead me to any trouble. But I fear that she can be an instrument of injustice without her knowing it. She is really feeling very bad because she was made to beleive that I am the only solution to her problem and yet I am not willing to help her. But honestly I do. It's just that I am not convinced that I am the only option. My dilemma here is wether I should prioritize my wellbeing over what my sick aunt will bee feeling. | ||||||

Greetings Vivien! I am hardly the one to consult on a matter of such importance as this, but I will keep you in prayer! Blessings to you, Makarios |
