Allow others to admit mistakes.
Bhagwan Buddha once told a woman, "Bring me mustard from a house where there has been no death." The woman returned empty-handed. The same applies to errors or mistakes. No one hasn't made an error or a mistake, knowingly or unknowingly. We say that 'to err is human.' Yet, we are often very harsh on others for their mistakes and want to punish them in various ways. We also punish ourselves for not dealing with them compassionately.
Our reactions to others' mistakes can sometimes make them feel bad, rather than helping them learn and grow. Everyone responds to love and compassion, and they can work wonders in healing hurt. The more we approach situations with love and compassion, the more we can create an environment where others feel comfortable admitting their mistakes.
Once people realize they are not being judged for their actions, but are given an opportunity to reflect, reconsider, and make amends, it alleviates their stress. They feel accepted and know they are being offered another chance.
