and get worse rather than admit they have done anything wrong. They don’t want to feel ashamed.I’d argue that being wrong or making a mistake is no reason to feel shame. Shame should be a feeling reserved for repeating the same mistakes or better yet, not being able to acknowledge them. That’s right, if there’s any shame to be had, I think it should be for those who can’t accept they’ve done wrong.Of course, that isn’t really how the world works, is it?

g wrong is to see the effect it had on other people. If you hurt them, it’s time to swallow your pride, admit you were wrong, and apologize. There’s no shame in admitting you were wrong. In this day and age, it takes courage. Refusing to apologize is the coward’s way out if you ask me.We need to teach our kids that apologizing is the right thing to do. At the same time, we have to teach them that we all make mistakes and we’re all wrong from time to time. As long as you don’t continue to make the same mistake over and over, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. If we can do that, we’ll see a world where more people will be able to live in harmony.People will still make mistakes but instead of pretending they didn’t do anything wrong, they’ll apologize. An apology doesn’t always make people satisfied but it certainly takes the wind out of their sails. It’s hard to hate someone who is actually repentant for their wrongdoing.What do you think?</article></body>

The hard part is admitting it.

Can you admit when you’re wrong? I can but it took time and effort. I had to learn that it was better to acknowledge I was wrong and apologize. I learned that I would rather eat my pride and apologize than allow someone else to suffer as a result. Can you say the same?

I’m not some amazing human being. That’s not my claim. In my opinion, admitting you’re wrong, when you’re wrong, should be a minimum, not applauded. Unfortunately, we live in a world where being wrong or making a mistake is somehow shameful. Many people will allow a situation to fester and get worse rather than admit they have done anything wrong. They don’t want to feel ashamed.
