It makes sense when you think of it, but without use, I tend to forget things, even core values. It comes back immediately, like riding a bicycle, but you have to retrieve that file and move it from long-term to short-term storage.
The value that I am referring to, is a wise piece of knowledge...you can't make people learn things, you have to teach them to want to learn...by example. Sometimes, you want it so bad, that you for get that. But the more that you force it, the less that person wants to learn what you are trying to teach. It doesn't have anything to do with the nature of the lesson, but the process of delivery.
But you get so wrapped up in proving the point, that you can't see the harm that you are doing in the meantime.
Like most things, it comes back to patience and faith. Patience, that these things don't happen on our timetable. Faith in that at some point it will happen, it will click.
Unfortunately, sometimes you have to do damage (to the other party and/or to yourself) to realize that you are not being patient, or having enough faith in the process.
Hopefully humility and sincerity will be enough to merit forgiveness.
