Can I Ask a Dumb Question?

[Garland-Green]

Introduction; Have you ever said something dumb—something really, really dumb? Have you ever said something so dumb that you cringe to even allow the memory to crawl back into your mind? We all have at one time or another, haven’t we? Few things are more painful than realizing we’ve displayed ignorance or arrogance through dumb statements or dumb questions. Really, the only thing more painful is having our dumbness met with anger, outrage, or mockery. Such responses only compound the pain and shame of it all.

This is a good reminder.

I agree. It can be easy to get carried away not allowing room for mistakes or thinking badly of someone who makes a mistake. It can color the way we view this person instead of giving him or her some leniency, or room to "mess up".
