Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yoursel

Summary

This quote suggests that it can be incredibly difficult and uncomfortable to acknowledge and accept one's own mistakes or wrongdoings. Admitting our errors can be challenging because it requires us to confront our own fallibility and weaknesses, which can be a blow to our ego or self-image. However, this kind of self-awareness and honesty is essential for personal growth and development. It emphasizes the importance of embracing our mistakes as learning opportunities, even though it may be unpleasant to do so.
