There are industries that are trained to never say they are sorry for their mistakes, often due to legal liability. The irony is lawsuits often arise because someone didn’t hear the words, “I’m sorry.”
Imagine your frustration if someone driving a company vehicle ran a red light and destroyed the side of your car, but they refused to say they were sorry. Many insurance companies tell their customers to never admit fault, but that often leads to victims who feel disrespected and angry.
Proverbs 18:19 teaches, “A brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city.”
When you’re in the wrong, refusing to admit that wrong can bring a backlash. When you have been the cause of another person’s harm, admit your error, say you’re sorry, and then make amends.
