Summary
This quote suggests that people often stubbornly defend their mistakes or wrongdoings as if they were fighting to protect something valuable that belongs to them. Instead of acknowledging their errors and learning from them, they cling to them out of pride or attachment. This can indicate a reluctance to admit fault or change one's beliefs or behavior, even when it is clear that they are flawed. It emphasizes how deeply ingrained some people's resistance to self-reflection and growth can be.
