Two things can be true: 1. People say plenty of things until they are under pressure and in a situation they didn’t see themselves being in. And that’s when true convictions are revealed. 2. People make mistakes, and it is right to admit when you have done wrong and knew it was wrong and that just because you made a decision doesn’t make it ok. The outcome should be the person still stands by what’s right, admits how wrong they were, yet is gracious towards those who did the same as them.
