"人々は他人が間違っていることよりも正しいことであることを許す方がはるかに簡単です。"
— J.K. Rowling
Simplified Meaning:
When someone else makes a mistake or is wrong, it's usually not too hard to forgive them. We might feel bad for them, understand they made an error, and move on. But when someone else is right, especially if we were the ones who were wrong, it can be much harder to accept. We feel a little embarrassed or proud, and forgiving them might mean admitting we were incorrect ourselves, which can be tough on our ego. Imagine a friend telling you to take an umbrella because they think it will rain, but you don't believe them. When it does rain and you get soaked, it's harder to admit they were right and forgive them for their good advice. This reaction is very normal because it stings our pride a bit. To apply this in life, try to be more open to accepting when others are correct. It helps you grow and build stronger, more honest relationships.
