I’m sorry but…. aka SORRY O

This goes out to good friends and relationships that understand the place of sincere apologies, and of course to those who don’t.

So what is a sincere apology? It is simply that apology that comes with no excuses and conditions. “I am sorry I came late” not ‘because there was traffic.’….. ‘I’m sorry I hurt your feelings’ not ‘because you spoke to me in that tone first’.

We are made to connect. We live to Love. Our very existence depends on it. That explains why you’ll be destabilized from within when someone you care about offends you.

Even though you present a different face outwardly, you know you are uncomfortable, your heart knows.

We apologise to resolve previous issues so that we get the chance to carry on with relationships.

If you’re given the chance to explain for instance then of course jump at it, give a clear, detailed account of the situation. Acknowledge a hurt or damage done, recognize your role in the event, give a statement of regret, and don’t just pretend like it doesn’t matter, because it does! Give a promise that it will not occur again or even a form of restitution where possible. Say something!

You see, we blossom; we thrive from associations that add value to us.

Peace is superior to justice. Choose Peace.

Remember Freedom is Peace, Optimism is Nature, Action is always within reach.
