One of the most important things you can do in life is to admit it when you've made a mistake. If everyone did that, the world would be a much nicer place! What's stopping us from doing it? Well, it's shame. Or rather, that others think we're stupid.
We're so afraid of falling in the eyes of others. But the thing is, we grow in the opinion of others when we admit that we've made a mistake! It can apply to trifles but it can also apply to quite big things in your life, even things that affect others.
If it's illegal, what we've done and we're brought to trial, it's always a mitigating factor in sentencing.
However we don't have to go that far. When we say we regret something and apologize from the bottom of our hearts, the other part can quickly change their mind, forgive and see you in a new light.
It can be something you've said publicly or written on the Internet, so it may have reached the opinion of many people. Even then, a large majority of people will nod and say you're brave, instead of looking down at you. If someone puts you down, your decision must be so strong that it makes you stand upright and be honest about it, so that you respond positively. Because it doesn't pay to attack or throw shit at that person. Then you fall in everyone's eyes...
