Alright so Skyla posed an interesting question and i would like to answer it to the best of my ability. she asked ": In general, why are humans so reluctant to admit to our mistakes when we know only good can come out of it?"

Well it appears that there are some people who do not like admitting they are wrong in spite of the circumstances or the benefits of it. Part of the nature of humans is to seek out some social approval, and if one is wrong, that approval can be threatened. It takes a lot of humility to admit that one is wrong at times, and that reluctance comes out of a discomfort in the situation. Just like I may be unwilling to admit I am wrong because i am embarrassed of some part of the truth. I desire that approval of others, which makes me unwilling to admit my transgression. Also, sometimes, when one admits they are wrong good does not come from it. There is always the possibility of learning from their mistakes, but sometimes an incorrect act or thought of an individual can be detrimental and admitting it is punishable, such as prison, or spreading a rumor that caused the lives of certain individuals to be effected negatively. SO there is that underlying fear of punishment which prevents some people to admit their wrongness. And some people are just plain stubborn, and feel that regardless of the outcome, they have to be right. But I have yet to meet someone who fits that description, who is unwilling to learn or attempt to change the way things are. But if we were 100% sure that only good would come of admitting or mistakes, i am sure we would be much less reluctant to do it.

SO my question right now is, can there be a mistake in art, which one would have to admit having made? or do the values which change overlook any mistake?
