1. you learn an important lesson. your life is changed by a new truth (i.e. something from the Bible, where super-cool truth is found). you seek to live by it.
2. time passes. your mental knowledge of the truth remains, but your discipline in it falters. gradually, you start living as though you don't know the truth anymore, even though you do know it; it's just out of sight, out of mind.
3. you complain about your life to friends. they lovingly remind you of this truth. your pride makes you angry and bitter because you already knew this truth, and you feel like you're being treated like a juvenile for being reminded of it.
4. you realize that you really did need to hear it again.
