Forgiveness

We make mistakes and we hurt people. We feel guilty because we did not mean to hurt them. But people are unpredictable. Sometimes they hold grudges. Sometimes they forgive us without even asking. But the reason it still is important to apologize is so that we can put the guilt and the past behind us. Needless to say, apologizing is hard. Getting over your ego, to tell someone that you were wrong, take guts. And asking for forgiveness, for something that you're ashamed of, takes courage.
So we wait for a chance; the right moment. But the problem with the "right moment" is that its just a fancy word for time. And that doesn't change the fact that we're all a little coward. So just pick any moment you're with them, gather five seconds of blind, selfless bravery and tell them that you're really, truly, sincerely sorry.

  2. I always apologize. I used to be really egoistic but I have changed. and I don't feel bad about saying sorry but I guess you expect some kind of forgiveness when you say sorry, right? Some people are just to haughty to forgive and ignore the mistake of others. and I am not one of em. But Im relating here to a very close friend of mine. I am kind of imperfect and I make a whole lot of mistakes but I make sure that I don't hurt the people around me. and if i do, i always say sorry and try to make up. and I apologized to my friend for like at least 20 times but my friend kept saying that you keep making mistakes, how can i forgive you. I don't think its the right attitude.
