Why is it so hard for someone who has made a mistake to stay calm? Why do apologies feel so difficult to say? Why do arguments continue even after the mistake is clear?
What would happen if they simply admitted, “I was wrong”? Often, people feel hurt when someone makes a mistake—but they also feel hurt when the other person argues back. This creates a cycle of tension.
In the end, those who feel hurt may continue to argue if the mistake isn’t acknowledged. To truly protect and nurture a relationship, shouldn’t the person who made the mistake also take responsibility? How much smoother and peaceful would things be if they did?
“Have you ever made a mistake and admitted, ‘I was wrong’?
Have you ever argued with someone who made a mistake and felt hurt?”
