Apologizing does not mean that you are wrong and the other one is right....

Apologizing does not mean that you are wrong and the other one is right.....It simply means that you value the RELATIONSHIP MUCH MORE THAN YOUR EGO.
Keep in mind that everyone you apologize is not always willing to be forgiving but you should still do your part by sincerly acknowledging your mistake.

Sometimes I think it is easier apologizing to an equal for e.g spouse tahn to someone that you are over like your children you say. I do think that a real apology has to take the blame and then give an explanation of how things will be different in future.


Really when you are honestly sorry for something people feel you and it helps ease your conscience.

I think its difficult for most of us to apologize because its humbling and that is not something the majority of us care to be.

In order to end conflict and restore a relationship to a positive or neutral condition, you have got to overcome your urge to defend,explain and justify your behaviour.You may or you may not regret your actions and choices,because they may have made sense to you at the time.But you can sincerly regret the consequences of your actions and choices.You don't have to take the side of the other side or even accept blame but you have to recognize the result and be willing to take restorative action.


Speak to the importance and value of the relationship.

Apologize for your impact rather than your intentions.

State your desire to make it right.

Wait for a response, and pay attention when it comes.

Hear and understand Invite a fresh start on a foundation of mutual good intent



An apology can be a restorative act.
Change your mind. Change your life. Change your world.


Do not carry or keep bitterness, but replace it with love, kindness and forgiveness.



"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."(Eph 4:31-32)

Amen.
