If, as both the Sage and Jesus teach, loving confrontation and open rebukes are often advisable, how should we handle rebukes that are far from loving?

"A fool’s wrath is quickly and openly known, but a prudent man ignores an insult (12:15)."
Sometimes it does require a great strength to walk away, I have often admired @chansen ability to use humour in a response.
 
THE PROBLEM OF SELF-DELUSION AS A LACK OF SELF-AWARENESS:

(1)"Do you see persons wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for fools than for them (26:12)."
Labelling oneself as mature or wise usually masks a crucial deficiency of self-awareness. We are a.ll flawed works in progress.

(2)"All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the Lord weighs the heart (= hidden motives--21:2)."
The human mind just can't seem to admit it was simply wrong and, even when caught red-handed in guilt, will qualify their admission of guilt with a "yes, but," a "but you have to admit that," a "but you ;yourself," or some other evasion of unqualified simple admission of guilt.

(3) "The purposes of the human heart are like deep water, but the intelligent will draw them out (20:5)."
Here the sage anticipates the modern concept of the difficult long process of probing the depths of the unconscious in a quest for self-awareness.
 
To become wiser, we must encourage more positive conversations. It’s through dialogue that we'll replace hate with concern

You say that but I have suspicions about your desires to do different as a divine intervention ... BS on the wing?

Thus insults expand and outside a painful life the life of a calm psyche is beyond us ... far route ... imagine the real state exploding! Some cannot abstract such a comprehension ... thus it is never seen coming as a consequence of the past ... man that's done, gone! The point is formed by those tightly into presents ...

Recall ... you said that, yourself and then the entire concept departed ... you lost it! Marbles and pearls do role ...

To be drawn out ... sort of like an OBI looking at your self from the objective rather than subjectively (that is confined)! Loch 'M up is the demand ... hilarious turn about! Resembles the hubris-nemeses theory ... it comes down to that ...

In the flat earth theme do they collect at the middle if dippy? If a well rounded sphere ... do they roll out ... thus indicating something deeper beyond ... prepare for stand-down troops ...

Grasp your concerns. If there's anything specific that's caused you to feel the way you do, let's discuss it. Let's work together to build a space where we all feel respected.

Too many questions right now and the Roman's hated questions ... when posed they nailed them ... real knock off ... far tous Mani! I'm overwhelmed and yet some declare there is no question allowed ... in their BS! The Romans also declared a thinking man is dangerous ... many abide by this rue and hate bidden their time ... the command to wait it out is to much for the ante sayed ... ante up and listen to what's beyond yah --- from the Gambler on his train ... beside that track ... wayward winds and Mariah ... you choice! If on the track you be scooped up ... they do have snow plows and cattle catchers ... therein dah beef ...

Can sense the weight of your questions. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. Let's approach questions with compassion. Let's take things step by step and not be too hard on ourselves. Let's support each other through these challenging times. Let's find comfort in knowing that we don't have to face them alone
 
Is it a tryst? He tried and I've been declared out of here ... by a long line of alternates ... I cannot be part 've it or party tu*it ... far too flakey ... delicate as any snow job ... wicked chore ... life .. and 'ff goes another! Note the "o" dropped ... its nothing ... they sublime instead of condensing ... a sign?

Put that down in the log .. journaled as it goes about ...

One does have too look deep into the ayes of someone you care about to see the essence of reflection of how you are coming across given the immunity factor. The this was not discovered until the 1800's so prior to that time people believed different things about their immunity ... just consider how the powers depend on the lawlessness allowed to those on top ... nose in there ... Aye they say" "There is I"! Some never observe ...

Some people readily admit their mistakes and failures without qualification. It is a sign of maturity.
 
"Speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all the destitute (31:8)."

Many who suffer unjustly cannot effectively speak truth to power. For that reason, this is my favorite biblical verse on the pursujt of social justice.
 
"rights of all the destitute"?

Many powerful Christians declare that they deserve nothing ... there's something for chewing over ... may resolve that inner sensation ... inn ate?

It is all in a word ...
 
PR9VERBs: THE SAGE'S PRINCIPLES OF A RATIONAL SPIRITUAL QUEST:
PROVERBS: 4 PRINCIPLES FOR FORMULATING YOUR SPIRITUAL BELIEF SYSTEM:

(1) 14:15: "The simple believe everything, but the clever consider their steps.".

Don't formulate your spiritual beliefs on blind faith. Avoid the gullible faith commitment of simpletons.

(2) 25:2: " It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings to search things out."

A burning spiritual quest is essential. God deliberately embedded mysteries into creation, so that humanity might launch scientific and spiritual quests to unravel these mysteries.

(3) 25:27: "It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep."

To be rational, seekers must recognize their limitations and avoid forming dogmatic beliefs in claims for which sufficient evidence is lacking. a spiritual quest must determine which issues contain too many unknowns to be rationally understood.

(4) 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your paths straight."

Basic assumptions are rationally arbitrary and divine guidance cannot be secured through a totally agnostic approach.
So to learn the correct core assumptions, one must initially trust in God passionately but provisionally, passionately to receive self-authenticating insights about your spiritual path, and provisionally because your beliefs must remain flexible to accommodate disillusionment with beliefs that don't stand up upon closer scrutiny or ultimately don't ring true in your life experience.
