Answer:
In this excerpt Sophocles is telling us that by nature we are going to make mistakes because we are humans but a wise person realizes that they have made a mistake and that what they did or keep doing is wrong, but he also says that the wise person repairs the evil or wrongful thing they have done. The last part of the quote “the only crime is pride” tells us that the only way to not be free from a mistake or learn from a mistake is if you have so much pride that you won’t accept the fact you made a mistake and that you have to fix what you’ve done wrong.
I agree with Sophocles I believe that we all make mistakes because not one human being was created perfect. I also believe that only the wise realize that they have made a mistake and try to fix it. If we have pride and don’t accept the mistakes we have made we cannot move forward in life. To succeed you have to go through the hardships of life and those hardships may be mistakes we make. Many times instead of accepting that we have made a mistake we beat ourselves down because of it, the right thing to do is accept it and do make something out of it like a life lesson on why not to make the same mistake over again.
