One of the hardest things to do is to take the blame, and to admit that you were wrong. It probably was not deliberate dishonesty. For the most part, the real reason is that we tend to look at things from our own perspective. There are three sides to a story: Yours, mine, and something in the middle that really happened. If we calmly look at it from the other person’s point of view, it might appear entirely different.

You can never see both sides until you stop accusing and humbly listen to the other person instead. To solve a conflict, you need to be willing to take the blame.
