Apologizing shows accountability of the person. It reflects their deep understanding of how their actions made the other person feel. I cannot trust people who avoid taking ownership, and blame others instead of saying “I messed up. I’m sorry. Forgive me” and move on.
Manuel! I have enjoyed every line you wrote in this post! - such an important perspective of a life element “sorry”, thank you so much for this. You’ve just inspired me for my upcoming post topic.
I would like to apologize to myself for being human. I would like to forgive myself for not having the opportunity to apologize to my mom for some of my behavior before she passed.
I do know now that, apologies are much easier to make as soon after the mistake as possible.
I do think that you learn by the second part of the equation.

I am with you, Clari!

Happy to hear this, Hash. Thanks for the comments and kind words!
I’ve found saying, “I’m sorry” is often not an apology. An apology with integrity is also offering to change and to make things right.
💯 Mitchel. That is a must for me
I would have guessed that. :-)

Gotta look for the behavior.
That resonates with me deeply, Wendy. Thank you for sharing 🌻
