In Antigone by Greek playwright Sophocles, Teiresias, a wise seer, observes that good men admit their mistakes. “Think: all men make mistakes, But a good man yields when he Knows his course is wrong, And repairs the evil: The only Crime is pride.” (1) When pondered upon, one concludes that the statement actually holds merit. Observation leads me to believe that admitting one’s faults is the responsible course of action, as doubt emerges where needed; one’s actions trigger question for a reason.
