I think I know why that is and it's something that has been staring me in the face for ages now. I admit... I previously dismissed the patently obvious for years but recently, I had to accept this uncomfortable truth.
People refuse to admit they're wrong because of how those who do or are found out get treated via the punitive measures that await them. There is no transformative or rehabilitative justice for many reasons but chief amongst them is how people don't care what happens after those measures are doled out.
Then these same people wonder why the cycle of pain continues.
