That's exactly the point of the post. <br /><br /><i>However, often interactions, disagreements, and altercations are not as clear cut in terms of who is in the wrong and who is not. Often, both people are a little bit in the wrong and a little bit being wronged. It is hard for people to see past their own feelings and experience to recognize what is going on on the other side.</i><br /><br />Well, of course. That's why mussar and self-honesty are more important than just about anything in so many aspects of life. And even people who are good at this fall into the trap of thinking that they understand when they sometimes don't, which can further issues. That's why it is important for people to be honest one another (even if it might hurt a bit) - otherwise issues build and grudges are created. <br /><br />And then there are also situations where people simply are overreacting; and there are situations where a person does something for a specific reason, even if their friend feels wronged. Is that OK? Hard to know until much later.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-62729276325535471432012-02-29T20:49:32.902-05:002012-02-29T20:49:32.902-05:00Also, in your example, the situation is pretty bla...Also, in your example, the situation is pretty black and white.

1. If a person says...I am thinking of two things. <br /><br />1. If a person says something hurtful to another person, whatever the reason why, and refuses to admit that what they said was hurtful.<br /><br />2. Many times, people are too proud or stubborn to admit that they have handled something incorrectly, and they often end up justifying it in their own minds.Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564623864935448290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-39594470222109022422012-02-29T10:42:24.086-05:002012-02-29T10:42:24.086-05:00MDG - :) I hear ya.
