dignity is in being honest in life in anything we do. ideally, at least, dignity is in being cognizant, realizing, and honest.
for instance, if someone is owning up to the part of fault in a link, a relationship, or an unsuccessful eventuality, then things can be a lot more clearer and less hurtful in nature and impact.
conscience is a great buffer against being a thief or a recluse. it enables a right minded person to even admit his/her flaws and offer genuine apology.
but, it seems, that there is a sense of entitlement or a self internalized justification against being honest that playing aloof will do.
the thing is, it does not. each person has to one way or another feel accountable for all their actions. in retrospect. in a calmer state of thinking.
when people are incapable of being honest to themselves and to others, they set themselves up for an eternal guilty feeling.
share your thoughts, if in Muslim, Pakistani culture, or in the age group of peers for the same background, in specifically, human relationships, personal or professional, this ownership of one’s mistakes is pervasive. if it is, how do you handle this in others or do you catch yourself when you do the same to others, and what can be done about it?
share your ideas if you like.
best,
