Sorry seems to be the hardest word

I was just wondering, why izzit so hard for human being to admit their mistakes?

Forget about apologizing, but some people find it so hard to say "I'm wrong". Is it an ego thing? I mean, I'm pretty sure they grew up always thinking that they're right so they think that it's impossible for them to make mistakes. Could it be because they're too proud? Or maybe even embarrassed? Thinking that they're perfect, they feel a little hesitant to let everybody see their flaws?

Well whatever the reason is, i just think it's pathetic not to admit your mistakes, especially when you yourself know that you made an err. When they're caught, they'll try to come up with some excuses to justify their actions just to make themselves feel better. Izzit really that hard? I think it all comes down to that dreaded sorry word.

I mean, yeah of course I'm usually always right (haha) but when i know i made a mistake, or when people did point out my mistake for me, i will apologize. Isn't that what all our parents taught us? Say sorry if you're in the wrong.

But then again, maybe their parents are like that too, so parents being the obvious role model, they followed their parent's behaviour. Of course, I'm not blaming their parents cause people are gifted with this amazing organ, called the brain. I'm sure they're able to differentiate between what's right and what's not.

Well, that's what i hope atleast.

Then there are people who do admit their mistakes, do apologize but after that, the expect people to move on. All that matters for them is that they apologized and that's enough for them.

You see, whenever you make a mistake, there's gonna be some consequences prior to that and it affects different people quite differently. Your family, your friends, and those people around you could very well be affected by your petty mistakes. So the least you can do is try to make it less messy for them.

Ahh, fixing. Not that simple i agree, and yes some mistakes really cannot be undone. Why not, rather than you concentrating on what cannot be undone, you try to fix those things that can. I think it's much easier that way.

It kinda frustrates me when the people know that they have to fix it, and know exactly what to do but they just simply refuse. Their excuse? They think it's too hard.

So i guess you'd much rather hurt your loved ones than fixing your mistake? Wow, selfish lot we human.

When they ask for advice, and they absolutely agree with it then decides to really fix the mistake, they once again back out. So those people they asked advices on will get really pissed or irritated.

Oh no people, that's not the worse part.

The worst part is when they try to counter us by saying that we have no idea what they're going through. When you tell them that you won't be caught dead in a situation like theirs, they're pretty sure that it will happen to you and only then will you understand.

Haha, it's funny cause they think that the morals and values of everybody else is as dispensable as theirs.

I don't know about you guys but for me, when i know what i want and made up my mind, i will never change it. Principle and integrity are something i hold on very tightly to so i know that i won't be in the situation where i need to compromise my character and who i am as a person.

Oh well, i guess some people who you think will stay true to their morals and values turned out to be just the opposite. It's weird.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, we're only human and sometimes we do make mistakes. We're definitely not perfect but do think about the effects of your mistake and think about the people affected, and not be selfish. It's okay to make mistakes, it just mean that we're normal, so don't be embarrassed to apologize cause it takes courage to own up and admit your mistakes.

P/S: I know human being are a self-centered bunch but please don't assume that I'm writing this post about any of you. *smiles*
