Right, Wrong, I'm Sorry

 Be forewarned: this particular post has nothing to do with Pioneer Log Homes of BC. Although I've written quite a bit about them lately and will continue to do so, this subject stands on a platform all it's own.

The subject I have in mind is that of being wrong, being willing and able to admit when you are, and having the intestinal fortitude to say "I'm sorry" when appropriate. I personally consider it a virtue when someone is forthcoming about being wrong, regardless of the topic or venue. It's my personal observation that these virtues are largely lost on many folks-particularly the male gender of the human species. I know and have known a number of people-moslty men-who just cannot bring themselves to grasp the concept that, like all other human beings on planet earth, they actually don't know everything and sometimes, like myself and others, are just going to flat be-gasp-WRONG.

I've seen more than one relationship scrapped because one or more individuals in the mix can't/won't stand up and say I was wrong; I messed up; I was out of line; I wasn't thinking clearly; if I had it to do over again...; I'll try not to make that mistake the next time and (oh my Lord here we go with the big one)....I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry and would you please forgive me?!

I could go on and on but I won't. Regardless of who you are, if you're still reading this than you likely fall into the same category as I often do of being wrong and making mistakes. The difference between you and me and many others might come down to....do you have the guts to admit out loud when you are and ask to be forgiven if appropriate? If you feel you're never wrong, you don't make mistakes and you don't see any reason to ever say you're sorry, than I am flattered and honored beyond all words in my vocabulary, to know you are reading my blog....Dear Jesus!
