An ethical person will behave in the opposite
way, and try to find his or her own faults. In spite of
the instinct to defend themselves, an ethical person
keeps condemning themselves. Even when the fault
belongs to others, an ethical person also tries to find
himself partly responsible. A fight happened between
two friends, we blame ourselves for not discovering
their conflict sooner and prevent it. Rubbish is
spread all over the street, we also blame ourselves for
not having called for everyone the need for protecting
the environment…
Biết lỗi chính mình cũng là sự can đảm. Ai cũng
muốn mình tốt đẹp trước mắt mọi người. Chẳng ai
muốn mình bị xem là có lỗi trước mắt mọi người. Thế
nên việc tự nhận lỗi về mình, tự thấy lỗi của mình, mới
là can đảm, mới là mạnh mẽ. Kẻ hèn nhát thì thích đổ lỗi
cho người khác, đẩy cái nhục nhã cho người khác.
It is very brave to admit our faults. Everyone
wants to be nice among other people. No one wants to
be guilty openly. So that he who can admit guilty is
really brave and strong. A coward always tries to
implicate his faults to others, let others be
dishonoured.
