Despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Proverbs 3:11-12
For all whom we love and care for, we try to straighten that their ego may not eat away their balance that they become thrash instead of wealth.
Do not be overly annoyed, my friends when parents, elders and good friends chasten you. Truth always hurt. Ego is all set to strike back. No one wants to be told, what they do is wrong, it is just so alien to the ears and "so embarrassing" too. Remember it is better to be embarrassed and be saved from falling into the pit than trying to climb out after the mistake is done., battered and bruised . Fact is, those who chasten for the good of others always risk their anger and disdain so, the next time, someone is kind enough to point you in the correct direction. Be grateful.
