Sometimes the hardest thing that a person can do is admit that he or she was wrong. Nobody’s perfect and there times when we do something wrong. A lot of times, people don’t want to admit that they are wrong out of pride or fear of getting ostracized. Yet for those with a conscience or are determined to do the right thing, they will act quickly on it. This is a lesson that I learned from Level 42’s song “Lessons In Love”.
I’m not really into this band and I was surprised when my brother had a tape of this band in his bag. Though I’m not a fan, what really caught my ear in this song was the first line about him being admitting he was wrong. These days, very few people are willing to do that. The sooner one admits a mistake the quicker a problem gets solved. If more people do that, then our blood pressures would be maintained at normal levels.
It is always important that mistakes are corrected because mistakes don’t affect one person, but can cause a chain reaction which breaks down the whole system. The worst part is when bonds between people are broken and that is something that can’t be fixed instantly, especially when those bonds were built over a long period of time. When mistakes are corrected, the healing process can act faster. Nobody likes to make mistakes but it happens and what’s important is that it gets corrected to avoid a catastrophe. If we had more people like that, then this world would be a better place.
