Nostr has taught me quite a bit in the short time I've been on here. Way too much to list.

However, the most important lesson I've learned, is how to humble myself. To admit to myself when I am wrong, and to be a better person.

A couple of months ago, I had stated that I didn't trust jack (nprofile…jsen) There were many that came to his defense, and politely explained why I was wrong. I refused to listen. However, I was just being stubborn. Didn't want to admit that I could be wrong.

Today, I get back on Nostr after getting some work done, and what do I find? jack (nprofile…jsen) had sent me a large zap, reposted, and liked a note of mine. I don't know if jack (nprofile…jsen) is even aware of my previous post regarding him.

After that day a cpl months ago, while not admitting it anyone, I did reflect on my bias. I questioned why I wouldn't believe ppl that had actually met him, broken bread with him, etc. I began to look at all the ppl that I have sincere respect for that trust him, and consider him a friend. Did I not respect their opinion?

I came to the conclusion that I was just being stubborn, and didn't want to admit that I was wrong.

I never admitted that to any of the ppl that had defended jack (nprofile…jsen) and thought that I'd just let it drift into the past as a mistake learned from, but not admitted to. There goes that ego.

Today though, I can't ignore, nor let it drift into the past. jack (nprofile…jsen) was very gracious, especially if he is aware of my past remarks, which I have no clue.

I am man enough to own what I said, and admit that I was wrong.
