It seems that apologies have gone out of fashion.
How about you? When is the last time you apologized? Was it sincere or just perfunctory? People can always tell if it is sincere.
Do you think the offer of an apology is an unacceptable blow to your ego? I believe the opposite is true. People respect the courage it takes to humble yourself with an apology while not knowing if your apology will be accepted.
I just believe we should try our best to be kind in all situations. A person’s feelings are more easily hurt than we might imagine. Even the rough, tough adult can be offended without our knowing it.
Here is an easily remembered rule of thumb:
“Always be the first to say I’m sorry.”
If not today, when?
