I totally agree with the idea that we should expect others to have differing ideas and that there is nothing wrong with being proven wrong. However, I struggle with totally agreeing with the idea that it's okay for people to sometimes be rude. For example, you could be having a bad day where you find yourself snapping at someone unfairly. Whilst not ideal, if you later acknowledged that you'd been snappy and apologised, then you might be forgiven for snapping. However, if you were the type of person to fail to carry out some self-reflection and acknowledge that you may have treated another person unfairly, then being rude to someone even sometimes is not acceptable as that would possibly indicate that you thought it was okay to be rude to another fellow being without any consideration of the impact you may have had on their well-being.

Yes, I totally understand your point. But I was talking from the point of view of the person to whom the other person was being rude. Doesn't matter if the person who is rude self reflects or not, (how would I even know that he did). From my perspective, well, let it be. Might have been having a rough day.
