In the eyes of a fool, his ways are always right. I know that in your lifetime you have come across those people who you just cannot get to change their minds. I am not talking about standing up for what you believe in because this is admirable. I am talking about when you know that person is wrong, and everyone else knows that they are wrong, but nothing can be done or said to convince them otherwise.
"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who listens to counsel is wise." Proverbs 12:15, Amplified
It is okay to think that you are right. There is no sin in thinking that you are right. It is when we are proven wrong that we must acclimate to the truth. Listen to that wise counsel when it comes your way. Remember, wisdom is knowledge applied. Take that new knowledge and apply it to your being. Truth is devastating, it radically changes you.
"The fool's wrath is quickly and openly known; but a prudent man ignores an insult." Proverbs 12:16, Amplified
The way a foolish and a wise man deal with daily life is vastly different. For instance, a prudent (or wise) man ignores insults that may be thrown at him. The heart knows the contents of a man. In other words, you know who you are, why defend it by hurling back insults? But the foolish man knows what is in his own heart. The truth is a devastating thing, it radically exposes.
