"And oftentimes the excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse."
William Shakespeare
"We only have person to blame - and that is each other."
Barry [Bubba] Beck of the New York Rangers when asked who was at fault for a brawl that took place during a game.
One of my favorite "this would fix the world middos" is the ability to ADMIT that one is at fault. Admitting you are wrong doesn't make you smaller, it actually makes you bigger.
"Hey G-d" said Adam, "it's all your fault. The WOMAN YOU gave me fed me from the tree." Your fault and her fault. Just not my fault.
Not being able to admit guilt is a sign of insecurity.
Let's be secure.
