Summary

This quote highlights the inherent human tendency to find it easier to sympathize with the person who has been offended rather than facing accountability for causing offense. It suggests that being the victim is more comfortable as it garners support and empathy. On the other hand, being in the position of the offender requires accepting responsibility, acknowledging flaws, and learning from one's mistakes, which can be uncomfortable and challenging. The quote highlights the need to reflect on our actions and be mindful of the impact we have on others.
