This is because as soon as we figure out that we were wrong, we are right in figuring out that we were wrong.

The feeling I get is distasteful, since it is something that I really don't like that I was wrong. Also, there are others who rub it in someones face, and it makes him/her feel extremely uncomfortable. Erring can be perceived in a negative way. Soon enough it can be seen as a learning matter. Being in error is not fun, but it can change a persons way of thought.Erika Pereznoreply@blogger.com
