A “TRUE SPIRIT OF HUMILITY & LOVE” MENDS THE PANGS OF SHAME –  “… we ask ourselves if we are doing this because we are truly sorry and have a genuine desire to make reparations … . If we answer ‘yes’ to this question, we can be assured that we are approaching our amends in the true spirit of humility and love.” (It Works, How & Why, p. 62)

“A man should never be ashamed to own he has been wrong, which is but saying, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.”

– Alexander Pope (1688 – 1744) English translator of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and essayist

What happened when have you felt some shame and admit a terrible mistake to others, lately?

Doctor Croaky :

One day a frog left the pond of the village and hopped to a lake in a nearby forest. He went to the forest to make his new home there. When he reached there he did not see anyone around. He wanted to meet everyone and make new friends. So the frog climbed a high rock by the lake and said, “Friends, please come here. I am new here. I want to meet all of you. Because I have come from the village.”

Many animals heard his voice and came to the lake. The deer, the tortoise, the duck, the rabbit, the birds, the squirrel, the butterfly and the fox came there. The frog said, “Let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Croaky. [A] doctor who can cure any ailment that you might be suffering from. I have medicines for all animals’ diseases. You can come to meet me anytime.”

Hearing this, the fox said, “If you can cure everyone then why haven’t you cured your lame legs? See how you keep hopping around all the time.”

All the animals and birds laughed at the frog. The frog went red with shame for his lie had been detected. (http://www.english-for-students.com/Doctor-Croaky.html)
