Though, I didn't discuss your article in a recent post I wrote (http://davidbressler.com/?p=94), it influenced me greatly. I believe you can recover, even from dishonesty, though it takes an apology. An authentic one. And, that includes acknowledgment of the mistake, and a true effort to make sure it's not repeated.

Nice post. Though, I didn’t discuss your article in a recent post I wrote (http://davidbressler.com/?p=94), it influenced me greatly.

I believe you can recover, even from dishonesty, though it takes an apology. An authentic one. And, that includes acknowledgment of the mistake, and a true effort to make sure it’s not repeated.

There seems to exist a strong negative correlation between a sense of entitlement and accountability. We should not assume that trust is there to begin with - and then losing points like a driver's license penalty system. That said, all is not lost. If trust was established and then broken, surely it can be re-established. Maybe we *should* learn from experience, but as long as the human brain is a system of rational patches on top of an emotional, irrational framework, there's room for forgiveness.
