WILL YOU ALL PLEASE FORGIVE ME?
Most people say “I’m sorry” many times a day for a host of trivial affronts – accidentally bumping into someone or failing to hold open a door. These apologies are easy and usually readily accepted, often with a response like, “No problem.”
But when “I’m sorry” are the words needed to right truly hurtful words, acts or inaction, they can be the hardest ones to utter. And even when an apology is offered with the best of intentions, it can be seriously undermined by the way in which it is worded. Instead of eradicating the emotional pain the affront caused, a poorly worded apology can result in lasting anger and antagonism, and undermine an important relationship.
The focus of an apology should be on what the offender has said or done, not on the person’s reaction to it. Saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” shifts the focus away from the person who is supposedly apologizing and turns “I’m sorry” into “I’m not really sorry at all.
Offering an apology is an admission of guilt that admittedly leaves people vulnerable. There’s no guarantee as to how it will be received. It is the prerogative of the injured party to reject an apology, even when sincerely offered.
Righting a perceived wrong can be especially challenging when it involves family members, who may be inclined to cite history as an excuse for hurtful behavior. History can be used as an explanation, not an excuse. It should involve a conversation that allows the hurt party to express anger and pain if an apology, however sincere, is to heal a broken connection.
The courage to apologize wisely and well is not just a gift to the injured person or parties, who can then feel soothed and released from obsessive recriminations, bitterness and corrosive anger. It’s also a gift to one’s own health, bestowing self-respect, integrity and maturity — an ability to take a clear-eyed look at how our behavior affects others and to assume responsibility for acting at another person’s expense.
Almost like magic, an apology has the power to repair harm, mend relationships, soothe wounds and heal broken hearts. An apology actually affects the bodily functions of the person(s) receiving it — blood pressure decreases, heart rate slows and breathing becomes steadier.
Well folks since "HE" won't ever seem to sincerely utter these WORDS I will be much obliged to on "HIS" behalf.
First of all, I am truly sorry for...
Ever causing anyone any undue harm, aggravation, frustration and grief by the words and beliefs I have imposed on EVERYONE in DINARLAND!
Finally, I am TRULY sorry for EVERYTHING I have done since I first began sharing all of my FABRICATED STORIES with everyone on DINARLAND, which is dating way back to day one from February 2016 to present day!
Will you ALL just please forgive me!
See folks that wasn't so hard to do now was it? Now if only we can get "HIM" to JUST DO IT once and for ALL so we can ALL move on with what is most important, "HEALING OUR AWESOME PLANET!" If he has truly ascended and already surrender to our creator as he continues to profess and proclaim day after day after day, then hopefully he will do so some day soon too.
May God bless us ALL, who will soon become historically the greatest of ALL HUMANITARIANS of this good EARTH!
