Accepting the Apology You Never Got
Sometimes it’s hard to say “I was wrong” or “I need help.” Why? Because saying either of these phrases requires humility. Pride is an ingredient in every quarrel. It stirs up conflict and divides people. Humility, by contrast, heals. Guard against pride. If you find yourself constantly arguing, examine your life for pride.
