i takes courage to acknowledge a mistake <br />as one steps out of his throne of self-righteousness <br />and opens the door of repentance, <br />the windows of corrections <br />letting in this air of humility <br />one bows down to that which is <br />true and right <br />admitting with full responsibility <br />the wrong committed <br />after which one rises again much greater <br />and stronger, more mellow and pure <br />than his previous self.<br /><br />RIC S.
