till I die, I will not deny my integrity.
~Job 27:5
Doesn't pride come before a fall?? If so, I think Job might have a fall coming in his future.
I'll admit it. I like to be right. And when I'm wrong, I'm not quick to admit it. Eventually I usually admit that I am wrong, but I sure don't like doing it. But would I rather wallow in my bad attitude and mistakes, or admit I'm wrong and get it over with?
I think Job doesn't want to admit his inaccuracies because everything else in his life seems to be going wrong, why add another thing that isn't right? I can't possibly imagine the suffering Job is going through at this point in his life, but not admitting his friends' correctness is folly.
Even though I don't like to, I need to admit when others are right, and I am wrong. It isn't my first choice, however, I would think that being hardheaded and stubborn is anything but healthy.
