The highlighted phrase makes no damn sense to me...The path to learning is through repentance - that means you have to park your ego at the door and allow yourself to be wrong (or at least lacking in knowledge) - and most gun people are not the least bit interested in that endevor....even for free.
That is not what repentance is....
Why would the act of reviewing my actions and feeling contrite or regret for past wrongs be needed for one to learn?!
I have never felt guilt or regret for anything I have or have not done in the past. Does that mean I am incapable of learning?!
