It is my experience that when an individual is obviously guilty, and everyone knows it, the transgressor has two options, either admit guilt or bear down proclaiming innocence, and out of sheer insistence hope others will eventually believe. Nobody is perfect, we all know that. We all have done things we regret. But most of us come to realize that a time to admit one’s failings eventually materializes. That’s when we ‘fess up, take the consequences, learn from it and try to do better. Adults do that.
