Blaming Someone/Something?

Do you find it easy or difficult to apologise to someone if you know you are in the wrong?

It seems more common to hear someone blame their inappropriate action by blaming someone else or something else. (Deflecting the blame)!


Our Vicar said it was common since Adam & Eve ......
and added: "Adam blamed Eve, and Eve blamed the Serpent, and the Serpent did not have a leg to stand on")!!!


Have we become more of a blaming society?

Re: Blaming Someone/Something?

When I am in wrong I step up to plate & say so!
Can it be hard at times? Yes! But better then what it could be if I didn't.
Have noticed that many folks blame others (or things) for what they are at fault for. Not good.

If I'm wrong I say sorry. Sometimes I say sorry just to keep the peace - even when I'm not wrong

Being a bit of an old sulk, I do find it difficult to admit I was wrong. I do come down eventually as they say, albeit with some flowers or chocs.

It can be hard to admit when you are in wrong but once you start doing it, it gets easier and folks love ya for it.

Re: Blaming Someone/Something?

If I have hurt or offended someone I will always say sorry, even if what I have said or done I believe to be right. I do this because I will worry about it until things are sorted.

'Being older doesn't mean you are right, it could mean you have been wrong for longer', saw that in a recent film, thought I'd find a use for it somewhere.
I am the first to admit it when I'm wrong, my missus would testify to that, but she will never admit to anything being her fault. It's only right to say you're sorry when you're wrong and hope it will all be forgotten.
