I admit to that.
I've consigned myself to a dislikeable situation many times, asking why can't I stop doing that?

You're really separating the wheat from the tares with this challenge.

Westwend -
Nice challenge. Should be fairly easy to tell. For those in the former category, the opportunity to expand one's consciousness and spirituality is available.

Interesting ... and certainly worthwhile!
I would add other scriptures here;
Psalm 75
6 No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt a man.
7 But it is God who judges:
He brings one down, he exalts another.
Luke 6
36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Judging Others
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
2 Timothy 4
1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Discernment is the key to Wisdom. Prayer, Felloship and the Word are the keys to discernment.
