Saying sorry first

December 30, 2016 4:08am CST
The easiest thing in the world is to give up and the hardest thing is to say sorry. The question is not whether you are wrong or not. After the communication has come to a standstill it eventually boils down to who bats the eyelid first. What is more important, how long you stay in the game or the peace you get after reconciliation? Would you let go and say sorry first?

Yes I can always say sorry first for the sake of peace.

@awesomeme I was not like that, until I learned to be humble upon realizing my God is so humble so why would I not.

Impressive! It takes a strong heart to say sorry. I believe it signifies your strength rather than weakness.

@salonga Indeed. I believe he gives a little of his vast unconditional love to us which keeps us humane.

If mistake is mine then I won't take a second to ask an apology. But when I felt that I was right, I won't ask sorry either. Forgiving is possible anyway but I never forget.

For me there are some people whom I have forgiven but from whom I keep distance because I feel they would cause hurt the next time and the next time too. Its actually my self-defense mechanism kicking at that time.

@awesomeme I think that is a good policy for not getting hurt again and again.

If the mistake is mine, i would surely say sorry. And even if it's not mine, and thing is turning real ugly, i would say sorry and close the chapter.

@awesomeme Peace of mind is much more important than who end the argument :)

@shaynas I usually wait until after the argument to say sorry because its only when I am alone thinking about the fight, that I realise that I need peaceful sleep. So, my decision to end it lets me sleep.

I too withold myself from bending first. But then its about prioritizing which is more important and making peace always weighs heavier.

As u mentioned,if the question is not about who is wrong or right,then i would definitely say sorry if the person is important to me.Whoever is at fault,but i would say sorry and let go for a smooth relationship

I have seen that when you keep making that extra effort for your relationships, it pays off well. Because every person is wrong at some point of time and needs his/her loved one's support most at that crucial time.

As for me, it depends on who I need to say sorry to, but most of the time I show my 'being sorry' by doing things for that person.

@awesomeme Do you know the song called Hard To Say I'm Sorry by Chicago?? Very nice song and nice meaning. Have a good last day of 2016.
