kansasskydiver 0 #1 April 28, 2004 An interesting topic. How do you handle yourself when you've done wrong and you know it? Do you admit to it, do you just blow it off, do you try to make it right?

skyesspot 0 #6 April 28, 2004 I admit it as soon as I realize. Better then sitting there worrying when/if someone is gunna notice. Plus it's better to me to admit I found my mistake and suggest a correction then to have someone else use it against me.Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff.

happythoughts 0 #11 April 28, 2004 The hardest part for me is admitting that I made a mistake. I try to make my decisions based on my best judgement at the time, so it takes some convincing that I made the mistake. If I'm wrong, I apologize. I also hope to learn from my mistakes. That doesn't necessarily happen. Willie Nelson once said "All my problems come from the IRS or my ex-wives. Unfortunately, as long as they keep baiting that trap with p*%$#, I'll keep fallin' in it."

zulu 0 #12 April 28, 2004 If I have wrong someone, I admitt it, and try like hell to make it right. By doing so your not only showing the person that you are mature enough to do so, but you become a better person as time goes by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious what others have done The unfortunate problem with people in society, most peope refuse to admit they did anything wrong. They point the blame at others point of view, and discredit someones feelings......

lawrocket 3 #18 April 28, 2004 Maybe due to my work or life's training, I own up to the mistake. Heck comma sometimes I'll even post about them. Still, when you've done wrong, you can never run far enough to get away. It either sticks with you or you confront it head on and face the consequences. By facing them head on, it's a far better assurance that it will never happen again. Eener. is right - most people refuse to admit they did anything wrong. It means they'll do the same thing over and over, and that's a shame. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,166 #19 April 28, 2004 Sometimes wrong for one person is right for the other. It happens. Then you can still try to find some common ground so that each person can move on. But you can always acknowledge the hurt that the other person is feeling -- "this hurts me more than it hurts you" is bullshit. If I dent someone's car by being careless, well, I'm an idiot. If that someone left their car where I couldn't get out without scratching it, but I didn't HAVE to get out -- who's wrong? Depends on whose time or car you value more.

Samurai136 0 #20 April 28, 2004 It depends. Is there Video? Eyewitnesses? How hard would it be to cover it up? Besides the difference between right and wrong is really a matter of interpretation... I find it to be less stressful to deal with things head on instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop.Ken"Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #22 April 28, 2004 QuoteSometimes wrong for one person is right for the other. It happens. If the man or woman in the mirror tells you it's wrong, then it's wrong. Criminals know that what they are doing is wrong. Thos ein prison knew what they did was wrong. They just chose to ignore the person in the mirror. Many then blame society. They are usually doomed to return. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samurai136 0 #24 April 28, 2004 Yeah, morality is all relative. If you knowingly did wrong by your own standards... change them. If an individual's behavior and 'moral' standards are in conflict obviously their standards must be out of wack. If you did it, there must have been a justifiable reason given the fact available at the time. Situational ethics. There are no absolutes. Just playing devil's advocate. I have a degree in philosophy specializing in ethics... edit to add: you didn't kill someone did you? Ken"Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
