About None of Us and All of Us

Oct 13, 2007 15:53

Growing up my mom always told me about the importance of a sincere apology. Don't apologize and then point out all the things everyone else did wrong even if it's true! Apologize and shut the hell up. Say you’re sorry, mean it; if you don’t then you have no business saying it in the first place. And these apologies aren't about us they are about ( Read more... )

I love how real you are. Love, love, love it. I owe you dinner. You can't just pay for bowling for everyone and think that is okay. Not fair bud.

I'll buy her (some) drinks. LOL. Dude, I'd go bankrupt if I bought 'em all.

Dinner? For one round of bowling? Not so much it was my pleasure.

"Apologize and shut the hell up."

Amen to that.

"You can't apologize and then expect everyone to accept it and you can't expect them to apologize just because you did. "

Again, very wise.

How can it be that an apology is one of the hardest things to give away to someone else? We constantly give 'i love you' and other meaningful sentences to each other. We constantly give our bodies to strangers and we prostitute ourselves at work.

How come a word can be so hard?

Because it makes us more fragile than ever, to admit we were wrong, that we did something wrong. It's from the deepest of deep, inside. To not know if you will be forgiven, to not know if everything will be lost...

You, my friend, are lovely.

I understand what your saying, but if someone sincerely apologizes and you chose not to forgive, you're the one who suffers. Hate and the lack of ability to let things go are just like a corrosive rust that slowly eats away at the soul. Discriminating between a sincere and insincere apology is hard, but personally I like to give the benefit of doubt to the person apologizing. For some people an apology is hard. I miss you and your family and hope to see you soon.

I think that apologies are assumed to get us a long way...but really, the difference is not what you have to say but what you have to do. Anyone can say "I'm sorry" and sometimes it can be difficult but if you expect people to believe you then you have to change. Actions speak louder than words. The ability to let something go takes more than an apology.

I give the benefit of the doubt when it hasn't already been given time and time again. I am a forgiving person Nancy....when I feel forgivness in my heart I let it be so. Until then....there is not hate, but I am coming to terms, on my own terms.

Each and everyone at this pint IS truly sorry. It is time to look forward and share the LOVE that exists among us all!

:) You are a wise man I know that. I'll wait until I am sincere. That is all I can give.
