LEARNING HOW TO APOLOGIZE

in #steemjet6 years ago

Apology is one word that is stronger than it's opposing feelings. It encompasses accepting responsibility of your inabilities and faults.

It's feeling usually has a long lasting effect on both parties. Even though you might not have rewrite a wrong, but apology is on its own a whole new dimension of RESTITUTION

For a relationship to be healthy and strong, the partners must have the ability to tender a good apology when necessary.

It is disheartening to see how not using this simple word has destroyed many relationships.
People in a bid to uphold their ego have lost relationships and connections that could have set them up well on life.

Marriages have been destroyed because couples think apologizing makes them a little less than who they were. How pathetic!

It is humility that begets apology

And then it takes a strong man to tender an apology. Actually, it's the weak that is defiant to the echoes for peace and apology.

You're weak to actually do the right things, allowing yourself to be manipulated by your supposedly bloated useless ego.

Here are quite some few things a good apology should have

  • REMORSE

This is the most important part of the apology, it shows you are sorry for whatever happened. It's a form of empathy, being remorseful shows you are truly sorry.

It's fake apology when you are not remorseful, might be a showing of pretense or some sort of

  • RESPONSIBILITY

Many people feel that it's their right to be apologized to. It takes responsibility to accept your fault without blaming someone else for it. A responsible person does not end up giving excuses, he tries to analyze where he went wrong and apologies for them.

RESTITUTION)

In restitution, you don't necessarily undo the past but you do everything within your ability to repair the harm you caused. If it takes money to solve what you caused, willingly give to it.

If it takes your pride to amend issues, gladly accept and do the needful.

CONCLUSION

Finally, life does not place peace on a platter of gold for us, we are responsible for the peace we enjoy. To that end, we must be willing to apologize when we wrong the next person, for it is through this means we can enjoy relative peace.

Also learn to condition your heart to give a sincere and remorse filled apology. Apology well tendered remains indelible in the life of the receiver even though they might not immediately accept.

You bridge the strong hands of natural disaster on you when you apologize over your actions. I hope someone learns to apologize here.
