My Dad always urges me to “own the situation,” and to “live in a space of learning”—even when I feel I’ve deeply wronged. His point is that there is great power to be acquired when you eliminate the “I’ll apologize, if you apologize first” kind of dynamic. It’s not so much about being the bigger man, as trying to become a much stronger person.
