...why is it so hard to simply say, "I'm sorry. I was wrong and I apologize"?
People have the hardest time doing this. And they'll dance and juke and make up all kinds of stories to rationalize poor behavior, digging themselves deeper and deeper, making themselves look like a bigger ass than they did in the beginning. All this, when a simple, "I'm sorry. I was wrong" would have put the matter to rest.
I will never understand this as long as I live.
