Eating Humble Pie

Admitting you're wrong is not an easy thing to do. Saying sorry when you've made an error is not easy either. I have had to do both and say it to someone I have NO time/respect or anything else for. Ugh. I do not like the taste of Humble Pie, my body rejects it.
It is entirely my own fault and I broke a rule of not reacting before thinking it out properly first. Responding in annoyance to something is not the right way to deal with it and I should have learnt that I get myself in trouble this way.
I have had to apologise to my local MP for saying he quoted me inaccurately. Further looking into things has revealed that the template letter I sent him last month, DOES in fact say what he said it does. Might have been more useful for me to have discovered this before I told him I objected to being misquoted.
I was enormously cross with myself because I look exactly like the arse he wants me to.

Thus I have APOLOGISED.
Oh and it hurt.
I have had to say that I have realised my mistake and that I hope he will accept my apologies. This was the only way my mother and I could see I could deal with this and look less of an arse. This way, I am the BIGGER person.

I do not like it. It feels wrong to apologise to the pompous ass but it is the right thing to do.
Lesson learned, I will be more careful next time.
