I would feel like resurrecting this thread.
I think it’s very important that a person is humble enough to hear and read what other people have to say. I see it as the first step to begin to avoid blaming others for everything and begin to assume your responsibility.

I’ve been seeing that in the net it’s mainly about finding reassurance and validation to our thoughts and it doesn’t take us anywhere. It’s easy, you can put the other person in the ignored list and you keep going with your own $hit. But, does it help you? You can be in denial for as much as you please, but it won’t take you nowhere.

I lived a period when I was very wrong. Of course, I deal the best as possible with the tool I have and according to my possibilities but I received input from some people and they showed me how wrong I was. Of course, it wasn’t very well welcome by me. The truth hurts. The role these people had to play, I guess it wasn’t a nice task for them. However, they showed me their perspective because they are faithful with their principles and wanted to do the right thing.

It’s needed courage to say to a person what (s)he doesn’t want to hear and courage from the other person to take into account that (s)he might be wrong.
I’d wish it happened more. I would wish we were more open to reflex about ourselves and don’t put the blame or the responsibility outside. Our partners, our neighbours, our doctors, our coworkers...God, the spirits, lol...
If something human being has to learn is to be humble.
