  1. I know I am wrong, when it keeps nagging at me. There is no peace with whatever it is that I was wrong about. As most people, it’s easier to determine when I am wrong then when I am right. With that said, I have learned to listen internally and hear what is right to move forward.

  3. you know you are wrong in not wanting certain people in your life because a woman might be a little over the top in the way she looks and talks or the man is very arrogant and rude, but you really should be nice to them, but you can’t.

  4. Knowing that you are wrong is so tricky though. Even when you are completely right, people can make you feel wrong. I guess you really just have to look inside yourself and figure out how you really feel, and is it right to feel that way.

  6. Its not being wrong that is the problem, rather refusing to admit you are wrong when you know deep down you are. Honesty is the best policy and admitting to yourself and others that you are wrong is honest. Instant relief comes from outright admission of guilt. Refusing to admit you are wrong when you know you clearly are sends you on an emotional treadmill of guilt,shame and even depression. Sometimes it causes you to hide from others. In most cases you have to lie and keep lying to cover the initial wrong. So do yourself a favor and admit you are wrong whenever you are and deal with the consequences immediately. Thereafter you can be free.

  7. I know when I am wrong because I know right from wrong. If I have done something wrong I ask my Lord to forgive me and if I have wronged someone I ask them for forgiveness.

  8. I allow myself the possibility that I may always be in the wrong. When considering the differing perspectives of differing people and differing cultures that I could be perceived as wrong by one and revered by another. I do not abide by the possibility of absolute certainty in anything because I can only walk in my shoes not anyone else’s. I believe that, by doing this, I should able to keep an open mind when considering another’s point of view.

  9. When I can’t get over the need/strong desire to say, “I’m sorry!” Even when I tell myself that the damage has been done, and it would be best to stay away, I find myself longing to simply say, “Forgive me.”
