Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others

Summary

This quote by Dumbledore suggests that humans have a greater tendency to forgive or overlook the mistakes and wrongs committed by others, rather than accepting and acknowledging their success or being right. It implies that society's emphasis on forgiveness might be more readily extended to those who err, highlighting the challenge of accepting individuals who consistently make the correct choices and decisions. It raises the question of whether the recognition and celebration of rightness can encounter resistance due to jealousy, pride, or other reasons.
