Nobody is perfect. Because of this imperfection, unconsciously and unintentionally we hurt the people around us by the things we do or say.
Sometimes when we are angry or offended we become defensive and instead of being sincerely apologetic of your inconsiderate acts you go full swing on the offensive mode and things could turn nasty than it could have been if you handled the situation differently and less prideful.
Being humble sometimes is helpful in such situation. But who should be humble the offender or the offended? Mad does badly, and if talking or being sensible for a moment is far from happening, step back and refrain from saying more hurtful words.
Being humble and accepting your mistake and knowing when to bend will help keep the peace in our lives. Try to say the magic words, (sorry, I love you, I didn’t mean to, give me a chance, please, etc.) no matter how hard it is to say because your ego is prompting you not to.
But be wary too, don’t just say the magic words loosely, a stiff apology is a second insult and as good as the actual offense. Because the injured or offended party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
To be truly forgiven, we mush show sincerity in all our acts. If we thread along our life at peace with everyone only then we can say we are truly happy.

Wow!
The only thing I can say to that is this; "No one ever got indigestion from swallowing a piece of humble pie".
I have heard the saying that "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". This is something my mother used to say to me when I would fight with my brother and would have plenty to say out of anger.
We as humans have very sharp tongs.
Thanks for your post Earth.
This is a standard lesson for the "Human condition." Many of us need to be reminded of humility on a regular basis.
There's a saying I love, but I don't know the exact phrase. It goes something like this: It's not that you make mistakes, it's what you do afterwards that matters.
I remind myself of this all the time :)
Donald, yeah we all have sharp mouths especially when provoked we say things that we don't think about just blurt hurtful words but it's also our nature as human to be prideful and stubborn and not bow down to an "opponent".
Bobby,
That's a good philosophy and I think men are good at making up for mistakes afterwards, just be great if it follows through and not just in the begginning.
Me, I'm such a stubborn headed prideful it's in my genes haha. But if don't get humble I won't go anywhere and people will hate me or back off specially the ones I love so even if it's hard to be humble I'm trying to be, I don't want to lose the ones I love, they are the reason for my happiness.
Yup, humility is really a virtue.
